Stop fretting . There is Hope.
Hey all. According to what I have researched on.. There's still hope. There are drugs that can treat HIV and help people live longer. However the drugs do not stop people from spreading HIV. The main drug treatment for people with HIV is Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (also called HAART). HAART drugs help to slow the growth of HIV in your body.
