What does antiretroviral therapy (art) do? lowers the risk of transmitting hiv cures individuals diagnosed with hiv increases complications associated with hiv stops the progression of hiv

ART are medications that treat HIV. The drugs do not kill or cure the virus. However, when taken in combination they can prevent the growth of the virus. ... Antiretroviral drugs are referred to as ARV...

So in other words, it dose not kill or cure it but lowering the risks is the conclusion i got, taking it in combination with something else can do just that but just using Art medications alone will not help lower risks.

Hope this helped..

Stops the progression of HIV

Explanation: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the use of HIV medicines to treat HIV infection. ART is recommended for everybody who has HIV. ART helps people with HIV live longer, healthier lives and reduces the risk of HIV transmission.

i think it's the first one because doctors aren't the ones who get rid of the old needles. most of them time it's not even doctors who give you shots, it's nurses.
