First seen Apr 20, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This large study in South Africa tested whether offering HIV treatment immediately after diagnosis, instead of waiting until the patient's immune system weakens, could reduce the number of new HIV infections in entire communities. Over 28,000 people from 22 different areas took part. The goal was to see if treating people early not only keeps them healthier but also stops the virus from spreading to others.
