HIV treatment refers to the medical interventions and therapies used to manage the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and prevent progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). This research area encompasses a wide range of approaches, including antiretroviral therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, and preventive measures such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Researchers in this field are working to develop more effective and less toxic treatments, strategies to combat drug resistance, and potential vaccines to prevent HIV infection. The goal of HIV treatment research is to improve the quality of life for individuals living with HIV and ultimately find a cure for the virus.
