The treatment of AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is only partially effective for several reasons. Here are two key reasons:
(i) Viral Diversity and Mutations:
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), which causes AIDS, is a highly mutable virus. However, due to the virus's rapid mutation, drug-resistant strains can emerge. These drug-resistant strains are less susceptible to the effects of the medications, rendering treatment less effective over time.
(ii) Adherence Challenges:
Effective treatment for HIV/AIDS often requires strict adherence to medication regimens. ART drugs must be taken consistently and on time to effectively suppress viral replication and slow the progression of the disease.
