An Indication, Mechanism of Action, Administration, Adverse Effects, Contra Indications of Anti Retro Viral Therapy
An initial HIV regimen usually consists of three HIV drugs from at least two different pharmacological classes. Despite not being a cure, this medication can prolong patients' lives and reduce the spread of HIV. Antiretroviral medication is now frequently used to reduce transmission in HIV-positive people who have an HIV-negative partner. In many regions of the world, the prevalence of HIV progression to AIDS has decreased due to the success of antiretroviral medication, making HIV a chronic illness. Research has verified that the three-drug regimen has led to a 60% to 80% reduction in hospitalization, death, and AIDS rates. A 90-90-90 strategy—90% HIV diagnosed, 90% on treatment, and 90% suppressed—is what the CDC intends to put into effect by 2030. This exercise explains HIV antiretroviral therapy's uses, contraindications, and indications while emphasizing the importance of the interprofessional team in improving patient safety.
