TY - M-10263 AU - Adam, Lulu AU - Tenga, Walter TI - Quelling HIV: Enduring Antiretroviral Potency Amidst Initial Viremia and Its Absence T2 - Scientific Research Journal of Medical and Health Science PY - 2025 VL - 3 IS - 2 SN - 2584-1521 AB - When it comes to viremia, or measurable viral levels in the bloodstream, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains a major concern for world health. Despite the revolutionary impact of antiretroviral medication (ART), obstacles to adherence, viral reservoirs, and resistant virus strains continue to pose a threat to HIV treatment. Whether or not initial viremia is present, this article investigates the long-term efficacy of antiretroviral therapy. Our research delves at the inner workings of the virus, how long-acting antiretroviral therapy (ART) affects patients, and possible approaches to attaining long-term viral suppression. Examining the current literature critically reveals new information on viral reservoirs, medicines that improve adherence, and changing treatment paradigms.
