About HIV Medicine
HIV medicine provides testing, antiretroviral therapy (ART), monitoring and prevention. With treatment, people with HIV can live long, healthy lives, and an undetectable viral load means HIV is not passed on sexually.
ART is available free through national programmes. PEP within 72 hours after exposure and PrEP for people at risk can prevent infection.
