Access to antiretroviral therapy is, however, the primary topic of discussion in communities beset by HIV, just as it is the primary topic of discussion among AIDS activists. Some groups in sub-Saharan Africa already express hostility to humanitarian organisations and funders who express interest only in education and condom promotion. Access to antiretroviral treatment has helped mobilize communities in the response to HIV, preserved the health and viability of households vulnerable to HIV, and strengthened HIV prevention efforts in many parts of the world.

 Research has shown that in the case of infection by blood through needle-stick exposures, cells in the skin can fight the infection with the proper chemical prophylaxis. Sexual exposure to HIV through a mucosal surface is not completely analogous to exposure through the skin, but it may involve similar responses, so antiretroviral therapy may still stop infection by minimizing viral replication. Researchers have found that it is not a good idea to stop antiretroviral treatment once started. Stopping can make you get sicker and have more side effects from the medications.
