Summary

People with HIV who are linked to HIV medical care soon after they’re diagnosed can start getting treatment earlier. If they take their medication as prescribed, they’re more likely to be able to control the virus, live long and healthy lives, and have effectively no risk of passing HIV to sexual partners.
