How can HIV infection/AIDS be treated?

Combination therapy with at least two drugs often reduces viral replication to such an extent that the viral burden falls below the limit of detection. Strict observance of the prescribed therapeutic regimen is very important for success. Rapid adaptation of viruses is leading increasingly to the development of resistance and cross-resistance to drugs. This imposes a need for continuing research and development of new therapies with novel modes of action.
