  2. Understanding HIV • HIV – human immunodeficiency virus – is a virus that attacks cells in the immune system that help fight infection and illness. Only humans can be infected or contracted by the virus. The virus destroys the T-helper cell and makes copies of itself inside them. This gradually reduces a person’s immune system, which means that someone who has HIV and not on antiretroviral treatment will increasingly find it difficult to fight against infections. The rate at which HIV progresses in a person depends on age, medical history, health, and background. • Although the disease has no definite cure, the earlier it is detected, the sooner they can benefit from treatment, helping them lead better health in the long-term. Also, antiretroviral therapy can reduce the level of virus in the body to such a low level that blood tests cannot detect it. Those who have been identified living with HIV whose viral load is undetectable cannot pass on HIV to others.

  3. Difference between HIV and AIDS • HIV is a virus that weakens a person’s immune system. It is responsible for the deterioration of the immune system when left untreated. While AIDS – acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a condition, only by contracting HIV, a person could develop AIDS. • Stage 3 HIV or AIDS develops in a human body when the virus has caused significant damage to the immune system. The severity of the symptoms and conditions may vary from person to person. Collectively known as opportunistic infections, a person may develop one of the many infections, including pneumonia, tuberculosis, and others. • Following antiretroviral therapy can help prevent stage 3 HIV from developing as HIV does not always necessarily progress to become HIV or stage 3. HIV can infect a person without having AIDS; however, anyone diagnosed with AIDS has contracted HIV already. As there is no cure, the infection never goes away even if AIDS does not develop.

This therapy does not cure the infection, however, they make it a manageable chronic infection, by reducing the risk of spreading it to others. • Other popular treatments include: • Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) blockades the reverse transcriptase enzyme • Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) binds to and later changes the reverse transcriptase enzyme • Integrase inhibitors blockades the integrase enzyme • Protease inhibitors (PIs) blockades the protease enzyme • A study published in the journal AIDS found that during monotherapy era people with HIV at 20 had an additional 11.8 years. However, this ha
