Treating HIV also cuts infection rates, study finds
New infections plummeted in parts of Canada as more people went on AIDS drugs, which lowered the amount of virus they had and the chances they would spread it, the study found.
For every 100 people with HIV who started taking AIDS drugs, new infections dropped by 3% in British Columbia, where the study was done. The rate of new infections there has been cut in half since 1996, matching a rise in treatment.
