The nurse caring for an HIV - positive woman knows that treatment is aimed at
Answer: B. Reducing viral load
HIV ( Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that affects the immune system of the person making that person more vulnerable to other infections and diseases. HIV positive patients are treated with Anti Retroviral therapy (ART), the goal of this treatment is primarily to reduce the viral load of HIV in blood. People who maintain an undetectable viral load have less risk of transmitting HIV to an HIV negative person. The other options given are not appropriate as the aim of the treatment is not to isolate the patient from the society; whereas hospice care is given to those patients who are terminally ill and on CAM therapy (complementary &alternative medicine) is a type of treatment and not aim of treatment.
Therefore the correct answer is option B. Reducing viral load.
