Antiretroviral agents/therapy viral resistance

Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) HAART slows or inhibits reverse transcriptase and protease enzymes by using several antiretroviral agents. HAART decreases the viral load. The viral load measures the amount of virus in the body. A decreased viral load causes an increase in CD4+ T cells and results in the immune system being able to identify, neutralize, and destroy non-self-cells. HAART therapy must be adhered to because the virus can become resistant to the antiretroviral agents. The patient must also adhere to nutritional therapy and avoid infections. [Pg.255]
