An infection of the Human Immuno-deficiency Virus can cause Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). HIV attacks the CD4 T cells that are an essential part of the cell-mediated immune response, without which the immune system cannot fight against other infections or cancers, causing AIDS. There currently 37 million people worldwide living with HIV/AIDS, with approximately 1 million new cases each year along with approximately 1 million deaths a year. | |||
Antiretroviral Therapy is one of the HIV treatments that is most effective as the combinations of different medicines reduce the viral load to become undetectable and non-transmissible and also allows the immune system to recuperate and increase the CD4 count. Protease Inhibitors are one of the FDA approved medicines that target the viral Aspartyl Protease to prevent the HIV from making more copies of itself. | |||
