The LPN is caring for a patient newly diagnosed with HIV. Which statement made by the patient regarding antiretroviral therapy (ART) would require correction from the nurse?

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends making treatment for those with a CD4 count of ≤350 cells/mm3 a priority, as early intervention can help delay disease progression. Studies have shown that ART can reduce HIV transmission to sexual partners by up to 96%. Conditions such as pregnancy and Hepatitis B and C increase the need to initiate therapy sooner and are in no way contraindicated. ART does not cure HIV, but to maintain viral suppression, it should be continued indefinitely.
