The pharmacologic treatment of HIV infection and AIDS in adults.
Despite the still bleak picture of HIV infection and AIDS, there has been progress in pharmacologic therapeutic approaches. These comprise both direct and indirect approaches. Direct approaches include treatment aimed at the HIV whereas indirect approaches include boosting the immune system and treating or preventing opportunistic infections and neoplasms. Many new drugs are undergoing trials for evaluation of efficacy.
