ART - correct answer anti-retroviral therapy: not a cure, but controls virus and prevents transmission to others; prevents HIV virus from making copies of itself; the less HIV in your body, the better the chance for your immune system to recover (can fight off opportunistic infections); drug combinations, number of ARVs success--drop in viral load below level of detectability issues--not always effective, uncertainty of duration of effectivenes...
