Abstract: Recent progress in treatment methods and medicines has made HIV more manageable. Factors contributing to this progress include advances in testing; the use and approval of protease inhibitors, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, and other nucleosides; and the success of highly active antiretroviral regimens (HAART) and combination therapy. Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, such as Zidovudine and Didanosine, and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) such as Nevirapine (Viramune) and Delavirdine (Rescriptor), are recommended for use in combination therapy. The pharmacology, side effects, and contraindications of these types of drugs are provided. Dosages and common side effects are also mentioned.
