Dr. Scott Todd, Director of Compassion's AIDS Initiative says, "There is no doubt these children would have died without these treatments."
The group's AIDS Initiative responds to this need by providing prevention, treatment and rehabilitative care. One powerful feature of the initiative is anti-retroviral (ARV) therapy treating viral infections like HIV with drugs.
The medicine prevents HIV from replicating in the body, which allows the immune system to recover its role as defender against other infections. As a result, decades of long life and health may be offered to the person taking ARV.
