Medical Advancements in AIDS Treatment

Modern medicine has made substantial progress in the treatment of AIDS. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) allows people living with HIV to maintain long and productive lives by suppressing the virus (Williams, 2011). The early use of ART can even make the virus undetectable, drastically reducing the chances of transmission.

Espejo (2012) notes that despite these advancements, challenges remain. Access to treatment is still unequal across countries and even within communities in Canada. Regular testing, consistent medication use, and patient education are essential components in fighting the disease and improving public health outcomes.
