C. "Stopping ART can improve the client's overall health in the short term."

D. "ART should only be taken if the client feels symptomatic."

Correct Answer:

"ART helps maintain a low viral load and decreases the risk of transmission."

Rationale:

🔵Antiretroviral therapy (ART) works by suppressing HIV viral replication, lowering the viral load in the body.

🔵Maintaining a low viral load helps preserve immune system function and prevents opportunistic infections.

🔵Adherence to ART significantly reduces the risk of HIV transmission to others, including from mother to child.

🔵Long-term adherence improves quality of life and prolongs survival in people living with HIV.

🔵Emphasizing the importance of consistent therapy helps prevent drug resistance and treatment failure.
