Frequently Asked Questions

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a preventive treatment for HIV-negative individuals at high risk of HIV exposure. It involves taking a daily dose of antiretroviral medication to prevent HIV infection.

HIV patients should undergo viral load testing at least every 3-6 months to monitor ART effectiveness and ensure the virus remains undetectable. More frequent testing may be necessary during periods of treatment changes.

Currently, ART does not cure HIV but effectively suppresses the virus to undetectable levels, preventing transmission and improving life expectancy. Research into a cure continues, but ART remains the standard for managing HIV.

Common side effects of ART include gastrointestinal issues, fatigue, and headaches. Long-term use may also be associated with metabolic changes, such as weight gain or bone density loss.

HIV can be prevented through regular use of PrEP, consistent condom use, needle exchange programs for people who inject drugs, and regular HIV testing.

If drug resistance develops, healthcare providers will typically adjust the ART regimen, potentially using resistance testing to identify the most effective drugs.
