HIV Medications
When HIV/AIDS first appeared in the early 1980s, options for treatment were minimal. Today, however, more than thirty different antiretroviral medications have been approved for the treatment of HIV. It is a common for two or more antiretroviral drugs to be combined and taken together to create a more powerful formula for fighting HIV cells. This method of treatment is called “combination therapy” or *H*ighly *A*ctive *A*ntiretroviral *T*herapy (HAART).
There are different groups, or “classes” of HIV medication. Each class attacks the virus differently at different points in its cycle. Connect with a professional to find out when you should begin receiving treatment and what kinds of medications are best for you.
