Standard
antiretroviral therapy (ART) consists of the combo of a minimum of three antiretroviral (ARV)
drugs to maximally suppress the
HIV virus and stop the progression of
HIV disease. Huge reductions are seen in rates of death and suffering when use is made of a potent ARV regimen, particularly within the first stages of the disease. Furthermore, expanded access to ART may reduce
HIV transmission at the population level, impact orphanhood, and preserve families.
