For the treatment of AIDS, antiretroviral therapy is required. It is important to diagnose and treat early, and patients should consistently adhere to treatment over the long term. Most patients can achieve relatively good results. If the virus levels remain undetectable over the long term, the immune system can recover to a normal state, and opportunistic infections will either not occur or previously occurred ones will gradually disappear. Standard antiretroviral therapy is critical, primarily involving a cocktail therapy that usually combines three different types of antiretroviral drugs.
