Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Goodman & Gilman's: The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 13e AB - The pharmacotherapy of HIV infection is a rapidly moving field. Three-drug combinations are the current minimum standard of care for this infection, so available agents and formulations constitute several thousand possible regimens. Knowing the essential features of the pathophysiology of this disease and how chemotherapeutic agents affect the virus and the host is critical in developing a rational approach to therapy. Unique features of this drug class include the need for lifelong administration to control virus replication and the possibility of rapid emergence of permanent drug resistance if these agents are not used properly.
