Antiretroviral therapy (ART) can effectively control the virus, allowing people with HIV to live long and healthy lives and greatly reduce the risk of transmission.

Preventive Measures Pre-exposure prophylaxis ( PrEP ) with medications like lenacapavir can prevent HIV infection in individuals at high risk.
