Is this a myth that HIV treatment works for everyone ?

Answer

Answer: Simon Collins

No, it is not a myth. Treatment works for everyone who is HIV-positive, so long as they are not resistant to the medications, and they take medication at the right time without missing doses.

This answer is a bit simplistic, but generally speaking, HIV treatment works. For more information see the booklet Introduction to combination therapy.
