HIV antiretrovirals are intended to help people who are already infected with the HIV virus. Some of the medications help slow down reproduction of HIV viral cells in the body. Others help boost the immune system.
A person who is HIV positive will always have the potential to transmit the virus, even if they are on antiretroviral medications. However, taking the medications may make someone less infectious, which would reduce the rate of tranmission of HIV.
