Overview

In clinical medicine the abbreviation ART most often denotes antiretroviral therapy, the combination drug treatment that suppresses replication of the human immunodeficiency virus. By combining agents from different classes that act at distinct points of the viral life cycle, antiretroviral therapy reduces plasma viral load, restores and preserves immune function as reflected in CD4 cell counts, prevents progression to AIDS, and markedly lowers the risk of onward transmission. Effective therapy depends on sustained adherence, management of drug resistance and adverse reactions, and attention to comorbidity, including cardiovascular risk, peripheral neuropathy, frailty, and respiratory disease, as well as the psychosocial and structural factors that shape engagement with care across diverse settings. The field also addresses resistance monitoring, simplified and two-drug regimens, treatment in children and adolescents, disclosure, and long-term health outcomes in people living with HIV. The peer-reviewed research collected under this topic addresses drug resistance and adherence among people on antiretroviral therapy, long-term health and disability outcomes, cardiovascular and frailty markers, regimen characterisation, and the psychosocial determinants of treatment success, reflecting the breadth of antiretroviral therapy as a discipline spanning virology, immunology, pharmacology, and the behavioural and health-systems dimensions of managing a chronic, treatable infection across the lifespan and in varied populations.
