Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) is highly effective in managing HIV. Here are some key points from the knowledge base:

- Goal of ART: The primary goal is to stop viral replication and reduce the amount of HIV in the blood to undetectable levels.
- Benefits:
- Slows down or stops the virus from replicating.
- Prevents HIV from progressing to AIDS.
- Reverses significant parts of prior damage caused by the virus.
- When the viral load is undetectable, it essentially prevents the transmission of HIV.

ART can't cure HIV, but it significantly improves the quality of life for those living with the virus.
