Antiretroviral Medication Soon to Treat All HIV Infections

New evidence has encouraged the International Antiviral Society-USA to suggest that all HIV patients be treated with antiretroviral medication, regardless of the virus’s level of impact on the immune system.

Thompson went on to explain that the advice is global, but should have the most impact in ‘resource-rich’ countries because of their access to the drugs.
