Despite its benefits, ART faces several challenges:
Drug resistance: The virus can develop resistance to the drugs if they are not taken consistently. Side effects: ART can cause side effects ranging from mild to severe, which may affect adherence to the treatment. Access and affordability: In many parts of the world, particularly in low-income countries, access to ART can be limited. Stigma and discrimination: Patients may avoid treatment due to the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS.
