Treatment cycling involves systematically rotating medications or therapies to prevent resistance or reduce side effects, especially in chronic conditions like HIV or cancer. This approach aims to optimize therapeutic outcomes while minimizing the negative impacts of long-term treatment exposure.

Chronic conditions are health problems that last a long time and don't go away quickly, like asthma or diabetes. They need special care from doctors and sometimes medicine to help people feel better and stay healthy.

Chronic Conditions

HIV, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus, is a virus that attacks and weakens the body's immune system, making it more susceptible to infections and certain cancers. If left untreated, HIV can lead to the disease AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), which is the final and most severe stage of HIV infection.

Cancer is a complex group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. It arises from genetic mutations and environmental factors, making early detection and treatment crucial for improving survival rates.
