HIV/AIDS symptoms consist of 4 stages, namely stage 1, this phase is referred to as asymptomatic HIV infection where the initial HIV symptoms are still not felt. The goal of antiretroviral therapy (ARV) is to increase the number of CD4+ in T cells, reduce viral load, so that it is expected to reduce mortality.
