ABSTRACT
There are about 34 million people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and for them the best hope to prevent a lethal infection lays in antiretroviral therapy (ARV), which consists in a combination of three drugs that inhibit specific points of the viral life cycle. The benefits in reducing morbidity and mortality conferred by antiretroviral therapy are quite obvious, however cure is not one of them, due to the fact that there are cells infected in a latent form, called reservoirs that make it impossible to eradicate infection. Antiretroviral therapy has effectively changed the natural history of infection by human immunodeficiency virus. Currently there are over 20 antiretroviral drugs in the market approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Even so, due to the emergence of resistant strains new drugs are in development in order to offer new alternatives to patients requiring them.REFERENCES
