Ways to Treat HIV
There are now over 30 anti-HIV drugs available by
prescription. They are usually prescribed as part
of a three or four drug combination. Anti-HIV drug
combinations are referred to as HAART, which stands
for Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy. Clinical
trials have shown that HAART can work well in people
who have been diagnosed with AIDS, as well as people
who have HIV-related symptoms.
