<human>: Are there any new advances in the treatment of AIDS?
<bot>: Yes, there are several new treatments for HIV. The most common is called antiretroviral therapy or ART. This involves taking a combination of drugs that target different parts of the virus and can reduce viral load significantly. Other therapies include immunotherapy which uses antibodies to help the body fight the virus, gene therapy which uses genetic material to replace defective genes in infected cells, and microbicides which use antiviral agents to block HIV infection.
