Treating HIV

Medication

Sadly, there is currently no cure or vaccine for people that are living with HIV. However, you can treat certain infections that are caused by HIV.

Even though there isn't medication yet to cure HIV, there does exist medication that can improve the quality of life of patients that are HIV-positive.

Currently there are two types of medicines that can do this. First off there are anti-retroviral medicines that can hinder or stop the HIV from multiplying.

Next to these anti-retroviral medicines there are also anti-biotics that fight certain illnesses like Tuberculosis, pneumonia and other fungi related infections.

But next to taking medicines, people with HIV can also do more things to improve the quality of their life. Eating healthy and making sure that the body is getting plenty of vitamins and minerals will also help. The healthier the body is, the more the quality of life can be improved.

Getting massages, doing exercises, meditating, having a positive attitude and getting support will also help the body stay in better condition.
