HIV is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system. If it’s not treated, it can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). There isn’t a cure for HIV, but you can manage it with treatment.
If you’re at risk for HIV, get tested regularly so you can start treatment right away if needed. If you have HIV, treatment can help keep the virus from spreading to others. Studies have found that people with low levels of HIV in their bodies don’t transmit it to their sex partners.
You can lead a healthy and full life with HIV.
