AIDS: Straightforward info, useful guides, and where to learn more

Over 38 million people live with HIV worldwide, and the facts change fast. If you want clear, useful info about AIDS—treatment options, how to find reliable medication, and how to handle stigma—you’re in the right place. This tag page gathers our best articles so you can find practical help without the fluff.

Quick, practical facts about AIDS

HIV is a virus; AIDS is the late stage some people reach without treatment. Modern antiretroviral therapy (ART) stops the virus from multiplying, keeps your immune system working, and prevents progression to AIDS when taken correctly.

Getting tested early matters. Many clinics offer rapid tests and free counseling. If you test positive, start a conversation with a clinician about ART options, side effects, and how to stick with treatment.

Medication adherence is the single most important step. Missing doses can allow the virus to rebound and fuel resistance. Simple tools help: alarms, pill boxes, or pairing meds with daily routines like brushing your teeth.

Stigma still hurts. Honest discussions with friends, family, or a counselor can make a real difference. Some medications, like nevirapine, play a role in clinical care and also in reducing stigma by making HIV manageable—our article on nevirapine covers both the drug and how treatment changes lives.
