HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy) is the current hold standard to treat (but not cure) HIV/AIDS. Medications for HIV are known as antiretrovirals or ARVS for short.

Different classes (types) of ARVS are used together to attack the virus in different ways or to protect uninfected cells.

Unfortunatley mate, theres no cure for hiv but doctors will give you antiretroviral drugs which freeze the virus and prevent it from replicating further but dont actually kill it off. theyre really effective.

A combination of retro-antivirals.

There is no single cure for HIV but over time treatments have become more effective. These include anti-HIV medication and antiretroviral drugs which can have side effects.

Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has been succcessfully utilized for the past decade and a half. It includes several medications (the details of which can be found by any standard search - using the acronym, HAART for HIV).
