    Treatment procedure
    There's no cure for HIV/AIDS. However, there are many
    medications that can control HIV and prevent complications.
    These medications are called antiretroviral therapy (ART),
    which work by stopping the virus replicating in the body. ART
    should be done as soon as a person is diagnosed with HIV/AIDS
    regardless of their stages.
    Continued
    • Before a person is put on ART, it is important to confirm the
    HIV diagnosis according to the national testing algorithm.
    • Provision of ART for Adults and Adolescents-Healthcare
    providers should hold detailed discussions with all clients
    about their willingness and readiness to initiate ART
    • Assessment of Adults and Adolescents with HIV Infection-
    Clinical Assessment and Laboratory Tests
    • Medical History Checklist
    • Initiation of ART (First line ART)
    • Choice of Antiretroviral Regimen
    • Caution on first three- six month of ART.
    • Viral load test should be done every six months.
    • Nutritional care and support
    • Palliative care: symptom management and end-of-life care
    • Recommended Follow-up Visits for Monitoring of Individual
    Patients
    • In case of failure of the first-line ART patient should be
    switched to second-line regimen.
    Conclusion
    HIV Is one of the worlds most serious social problem that affects
    every individual, community and nation that should be tackled.
    HIV/AIDS is a human tragedy because of which infected people
    are facing many discrimination and stigma in society and also
