New Horizons in Antiretroviral Drug Delivery Systems for HIV Management

This review examines innovative approaches for HIV treatment, where various drug delivery systems have shown significant advantages, such as high drug encapsulation, improved solubility, and enhanced bioavailability both in vitro and in vivo. Strategies like cyclodextrins, solid dispersions, microneedles, and nanoparticles are explored to address challenges in drug solubility, bioavailability, and administration routes. Despite progress, obstacles like limited clinical trials and industrial scalability hinder the widespread adoption of these formulations, emphasizing the need for further research and collaboration to optimize and ensure accessibility of innovative HIV therapies, mainly in regions where access to HIV treatment is scarce and remains a challenge.
