Our 5th Annual HIV Treatment Guide

.

Help prevent replication of HIV; drugs in this class block activation of protease, an enzyme HIV needs to reproduce.

• Aptivus
• Crixivan
• Invirase
• Kaletra
• Lexiva
• Norvir
• Prezista
• Reyataz
• Viracept

Help prevent replication of HIV; drugs in this class help block HIV from entering T cells. They are always taken with other HIV medications.

• Fuzeon
• Rebetol
• Selzentry

Help prevent replication of HIV; drugs in this class block integrase, an enzyme HIV needs to reproduce. They are always taken with other HIV medications.

• Isentress
• Tivicay

Help prevent replication of HIV; drugs in this class block reverse transcriptase, an enzyme HIV needs to reproduce.

• Combivir
• Emtriva
• Epivir
• Epzicom
• Retrovir
• Trizivir
• Truvada
• Videx EC
• Viread
• Zerit
• Ziagen

Help prevent replication of HIV; drugs in this class attack the same enzyme NRTIs do, but in a different way.

• Edurant
• Intelence
• Rescriptor
• Sustiva
• Viramune

Help prevent replication of HIV; drugs in this class combine two or more drugs that attack HIV in different ways.

• Atripla
• Complera
• Evotaz
• Genvoya
• Odefsey
• Prezcobix
• Stribild
• Triumeq

THE 2017 HEPATITIS C TREATMENT GUIDE

The oldest class of drug used to fight HVC does so two ways: it makes the hep C virus more visible to the immune system and it directly suppresses formation of new virus particles in the liver.

• Intron A
• Pegasys
• PegIntron
• Roferon-A

This class of drugs fight HCV by inhibiting the NS3-4A enzyme, an essential element in hep C’s replication.

• Olysio

Helping to prevent the replication of HCV, drugs in this class combine two or more medications that use different methods to attack the hepatitis C virus.

• Harvoni
• Technivie
• Viekira Pak
• Zepatier

Often used in combination with Pegasys or PegIntron, these drugs inhibit RNA replication of the hepatitis C virus.

• Copegus

• Rebetol

This class of drugs mimics the NS5B enzyme; incorporated into viral replication they cause RNA chain termination.

• Sovaldi

Inhibitors of NS5A block a protein essential for HCV to reproduce, thus stopping viral production at an early stage.

• Daklinza
