Drugs and HIV Evolution

In this program from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Bisola Ojikutu, director of the Office of International Programs of the Division of AIDS at Harvard Medical School, examines drugs and the evolution of HIV from a historical perspective. Standard treatment for HIV with single-drug therapy changed in 1996, when a new class of antiretroviral drugs was approved. The resulting “highly active antiretroviral therapy” combines a powerful drug cocktail that causes greater disruption to the HIV life cycle and has lowered AIDS deaths in developed nations.
