Download Lecture Overview
00:01 So let's wrap up this video series. 00:03 Remember the WHO, the World Health Organization recommends a regimen of multiple antiretroviral for HIV positive patients. 00:12 The goal of ART is a normal CD4 T-cell count and the lowest possible HIV viral load to maximize the health of the immune system and prevent progression to AIDS. 00:24 Now art should continue to be effective if the patient is able to be compliant and consistent with the medication. 00:31 Patient may experience some side effects with ART, but these should resolve over a period of time but keep asking them because compliance equals tolerable side effects. 00:41 So that's our role to work alongside the patient. 00:44 If drug resistance develops, the healthcare provider can recommend an alternative medication regimen. 00:50 Thank you for watching our video today.
