Abstract

At present, there are 22 FDA-approved antiretroviral agents, which are categorised into four classes of drugs. Several others are in various stages of basic and clinical development. The authors of this paper review the general characteristics of each class of antiretrovirals, as well as individual investigational agents that are in advanced clinical development. A brief synopsis of US and WHO antiretroviral treatment guidelines is also provided.
