HIV/AIDS Medicines

Today, there are many effective medicines to fight the infection, and people with HIV have longer, healthier lives.

There are five major types of medicines:
•Reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors - interfere with a critical step during the HIV life cycle and keep the virus from making copies of itself
•Protease inhibitors - interfere with a protein that HIV uses to make infectious viral particles
•Fusion inhibitors - block the virus from entering the body's cells
•Integrase inhibitors - block an enzyme HIV needs to make copies of itself
•Multidrug combinations - combine two or more different types of drugs into one
