HIV AIDS Medicine

What are HIV and AIDs?

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. This is a virus in the group of viruses called retroviruses. HIV destroys cells in the body called CD4 T cells. CD4 T cells are a type of white blood cell (lymphocyte). These are important cells that protect the body against various bacteria, viruses and other germs. HIV actually multiplies within CD4 cells. HIV cannot be destroyed by white blood cells, as it keeps on changing its outer coat, so protecting it.

AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. This is a term which covers the range of infections and illnesses which can result from a weakened immune system caused by HIV.

Common ( TOP 10 HIV Medications worldwide )

Your doctor will consider your other health conditions, ease of taking the regimen of HIV drugs, and drug side effects and interactions when deciding on the best treatment for you. It is possible to transmit a drug-resistant virus. Your doctor will find out whether you have a wild-type virus (naturally occurring virus) or a drug-resistant one (mutated virus).

Here are 10 commonly prescribed HIV drugs:

1. Atripla (efavirenz + tenofovir + emtricitabine) combines an NNRTI and two NRTIs into one medication. The usual dose is once daily on an empty stomach—one hour before or two hours after a meal. Dizziness, diarrhea and tiredness are common side effects. Serious, life-threatening side effects are also possible, such as liver problems and a buildup of lactic acid in the blood.

2. Complera (rilpivirine + tenofovir + emtricitabine) combines an NNRTI and two NRTIs. The usual dose is once daily with a meal. Strange dreams, trouble sleeping, depressed mood, headache, and digestive problems are common. Serious liver problems and lactic acid buildup in the blood can occur.
