HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) attacks the immune system, and without treatment progresses to AIDS. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) suppresses the virus to undetectable levels, preserving immune function and preventing transmission. People on effective ART can expect a near-normal lifespan. Early diagnosis and consistent treatment adherence are the cornerstones of care.
