Summary

This large study in South Africa tested whether offering HIV treatment right away to everyone who tests positive, instead of waiting until their immune system weakens, can lower the number of new HIV infections in entire communities. Over 28,000 people from 22 villages took part. The goal was to see if immediate treatment, combined with widespread testing and prevention counseling, could break the chain of transmission.
