Antiretroviral therapy-an Update
Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2017, Vol 115, Issue 12
Abstract
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) consists of use of combination of at least three antiretroviral drugs from different groups to inhibit the replication of HIV and reduce viraemia to undetectable levels. Durable suppression of viral replication leads to a restoration of immune response and slowing of the disease progression reflected by increase in CD 4 count, reduced frequency of Opportunistic Infections, improvement in the quality of life and increased longevity.
