HIV can not be cured. However, by means of the effective and well-tolerated therapy a normal life expectancy is possible.
The HI virus is well suppressed in the body by the regular intake of medicine (antiretroviral therapy) and thus can not multiply. It is important to reliably take the therapy every day.
Nowadays, an HIV-positive person takes 1-3 pills every day.
These prevent the multiplication of the HI virus.
The costs for the medicines are covered by the respective health insurance. In Styria, the LKH Graz Süd-West, Standort West is responsible for the treatment of persons with HIV-positive status. Generally, appointments take place every three months at the responsible special clinic – we gladly establish contact, accompany you as needed and advise you in medical matters.
