Early treatment quickly suppresses the virus, protects your immune system, and drastically reduces the risk of transmitting HIV to others. Research shows that people who begin antiretroviral treatment early and maintain a suppressed viral load can live as long as someone without HIV. Learn more about HIV treatment at www.amfar.org.
