Hi<\/p>\n
HIV treatment (ART) in 2016 is very safe and effective.<\/p>\n
It works for children as well as adults.<\/p>\n
ARTworks by reducing the levels of HIV in your blood to tiny amounts. This allows your immune system to become stronger and can stop you from getting ill.<\/p>\n
Nearly everyone who is HIV positive will need treatment at some time. You, your son, and your doctor can discuss the best time to start treatment.<\/p>\n
