What role does Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) play in prevention?
Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) is not only a treatment for those living with HIV but also a significant prevention tool. ART reduces the viral load in an individual's body to undetectable levels, meaning the virus cannot be transmitted to others through sexual contact—a concept known as Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U). Early and consistent use of ART improves the health outcomes of those infected and reduces the overall incidence of HIV.
