WHat type of Medicines against AIDS have we created so far?


I am typing an essay on AIDS and i need to know about some of the drugs against AIDS and what they do.

There are several different medications used for AIDS. They are usually prescribed as a "cocktail" or a mix of several of the medications.

Check out these sites for more information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aids#Treatm...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_tra...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protease_in...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-retrov...

none

there are 3 class of drugs 1 is called non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors 2. nuceoside analogues, 3 protease inhibitors. the first stops HIV production, number 2 they act by incorporating themselves into the DNA of the virus thereby stopping the building process, the resulting DNA is incomplete and cannot create a new virus. number 3 works at the last stage of the virus reproduction cycle, they prevent the HIV from being successfully assembled and released from the infected CD4+ cell.

I can give you some of the drug names, but you have to do some of the work yourself, look them up to see what they do:
Kaletra
Sustiva
Retrovir
Ziagen
videx
combivir
Zerit
Trizivir
Viread
Viramune
norvir
viracept
crixivan
...those are the ones I can remember how to spell...lol
