Anti-HIV

Anti-HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) drugs are a type of medication that is used to treat or prevent infection with HIV. These drugs work by blocking the action of the virus or preventing it from replicating. By preventing the virus from replicating, the drugs can reduce the amount of virus in the body and slow the progression of HIV-related illnesses. Common anti-HIV drugs include nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), protease inhibitors, fusion inhibitors, and entry/fusion inhibitors. In combination with other HIV medications, these drugs can reduce viral load and improve the immune system. The use of multiple anti-HIV drugs can also reduce the risk of drug resistance.
