Overview
Treatment of HIV infection is the antiretroviral management of human immunodeficiency virus across the full course of infection, from early diagnosis through long-term maintenance, aimed at suppressing viral replication below detectable levels, reconstituting CD4 T-lymphocyte immunity, preventing opportunistic disease, and reducing transmission risk. Combination antiretroviral therapy pairs agents of differing mechanisms to forestall resistance, and contemporary practice favours early and universal initiation regardless of immune stage. Optimal care integrates adherence support, monitoring for adverse drug reactions and comorbidities, and management of long-term effects of both the virus and its therapy on organ systems. The research assembled in this area addresses psychosocial determinants of antiretroviral treatment adherence, off-target cellular consequences of nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors, theoretical frameworks for supporting people living with HIV, clinical outcomes in treated cohorts, healthcare-worker knowledge of antiretroviral prophylaxis, immunological responses to adjunct interventions, and end-organ outcomes such as pulmonary function in patients on antiretroviral drugs. The journal publishes peer-reviewed studies spanning the pharmacological, immunological, and behavioural dimensions of treating HIV infection, with attention to adherence, toxicity, and clinical outcomes across diverse populations and healthcare settings.
