2. › The most significant advance in the medical
management of HIV infection has been the treatment
of patients with antiviral drugs, which can suppress
HIV replication to undetectable levels.
› The drugs are distributed into six distinct classes based
on their molecular mechanism and resistance profiles.
ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY
9. › Fusion inhibitors block HIV
from entering the CD4 cells
of the immune system by
attaching to gp41.
› Enfuvirtide (2003)
Fusion inhibitors
10. › Maraviroc works by attaching to
a protein on the surface of the
immune cells. The protein is
called the CCR5 co-receptor.
› Maraviroc (2007)
Coreceptor antagonists
11. › Pharmacokinetic enhancers are used in HIV treatment to
increase the effectiveness of an HIV medicine included in an HIV
regimen.(EX atazanavir or darunavir )
› When used with atazanavir or darunavir, cobicistat interferes
with the breakdown of the drugs in the body. In this way,
cobicistat increases the blood levels of atazanavir or darunavir,
making them more effective.
› cobicistat
Pharmacokinetic Enhancers
12. › Highly Active AntiRetroviral Therapy
› emtricitabine, rilpivirine, and tenofovir
alafenamide
› emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide
