What are the 6 classes of antiretroviral drugs?

These drugs are distributed into six distinct classes based on their molecular mechanism and resistance profiles: (1) nucleoside-analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), (2) non–nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), (3) integrase inhibitors, (4) protease inhibitors (PIs), (5) fusion inhibitors.

What are the three classes of antiretroviral drugs?

Several classes of anti-HIV drugs interfere with this stage of HIV’s life cycle: nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs).

What types of drugs are used for treating HIV?

The classes of anti-HIV drugs are:

  • Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs or ‘nukes’).
  • Nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NtRTIs).
  • Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs or ‘non-nukes’).
  • Protease inhibitors (PIs).
  • Fusion and entry inhibitors.
  • Integrase inhibitors.

What is lamivudine used for?

Lamivudine (Epivir-HBV) is used to treat hepatitis B infection. Lamivudine is in a class of medications called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). It works by decreasing the amount of HIV and hepatitis B in the blood.

What is LTD M?

    • What are the classes of HIV?

    Viral infections typically induce very similar patterns of immune responses. These include an early induction of type 1 interferons secreted by dendritic cells, increased expression of interleukin-15, and a proliferation of natural killer (NK) cells.

    What medications are used to treat HIV?

    The amount of HIV in the blood is called viral load.

  • Taking your HIV medicine as prescribed will help keep your viral load low and your CD4 cell count high.
  • HIV medicine can make the viral load very low (called viral suppression ).
  • HIV medicine can make the viral load so low that a test can’t detect it (called an undetectable viral load ).
