As with all medications, antiretroviral treatment (ART) has a number of negative side effects. ART is the combination medicine used to treat HIV/AIDS. Taking ART at the same time each day, without missing a dose, is imperative to keeping viral loads low and preventing drug resistance. For this reason, monitoring and treating side effects is important to helping patients adhere to the ART drug regimen.

While side effects vary with each medication, the most common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, rashes, weight loss, and lipid abnormalities. Most side effects begin within a few days of starting a new treatment and last for a few weeks, while the body is adjusting to the drugs. A few more concerning and rare side effects may not occur until the individual has been on the treatment for a number of months, or even years, and may be not subside, even if treatment is stopped.
