Viral Infections
Summary
- Several studies have shown that treatment of HSV-2 in coinfected patients may reduce their HIV-1 RNA modestly or reduce the risk of clinical progression, excluding patients on ART
- However, because anti-HSV therapies do not prevent HIV transmission, they should not be used to delay HIV progression in the place of ART when ART is available[Celum 2010; CDC OI]
