See how HIV patients can have sex without infecting their partner
HIV patients should know HIV is not the end of the world. HIV patients can live as long as 1000 years even, if they take their drugs properly. And as time go on with their correct drug dossage, their chances of infecting their sexual partners can come to zero. Which means a HIV patient can have sex without condom with a person that is HIV free and will not infect the person. And also can give birth to a HIV free baby. All this good news can happen if you take your drugs properly.
HIV is treated using antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART isn’t a cure, but it can control the virus so that you can live a longer, healthier life and reduce the risk of transmitting HIV to others.
ART involves taking a combination of HIV medicines (called an HIV regimen) every day, exactly as prescribed.
These HIV medicines prevent HIV from multiplying (making copies of itself), which reduces the amount of HIV in your body. Having less HIV in your body gives your immune system a chance to recover and fight off infections and cancers. Even though there is still some HIV in the body, the immune system is strong enough to fight off infections and cancers.
By reducing the amount of HIV in your body, HIV medicines also reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to others.
ART is recommended for all people with HIV, regardless of how long they’ve had the virus or how healthy they are. If left untreated, HIV will attack the immune system and eventually progress to AIDS.
