HIV – Treatment

Transcript

This disease still remains incurable. However, if patients take antiretroviral drugs, they totally control this viral illness. In a recent study that we’ve just completed, matching individuals with HIV with age-match controls without HIV, and then looking at all the numbers, different lymphocytes and so forth.

So both the function and numbers have been completely restored with this chronic use of antiretroviral therapy.
