The latest trends and evolutoin of HIV medication management: A systematic review
Abstract
The last 10 years have witnessed various significant progresses in the management and treatment of HIV/AIDS, including the development of novel HIV prevention technologies and safer and potent antiretroviral medications. Therefore, this systematic review aims to evaluate and summarize some of the recent trends in HIV medication management. To attain the stated objective, we conducted an in-depth literature search on virtual medical databases including PubMed, Medline, Scopus, and Google Scholar for peer-reviewed articles highlighting novel findings on HIV medication trends. The findings of this systematic review have disclosed that the comprehension of the HIV lifecycle was a breakthrough that enabled the development of effective targeted medications. Further, advancements in prevention interventions have resulted in HIV becoming an increasingly manageable condition. Thus, the amalgamation of biomedical, structural, and behavioral approaches has also reduced the infection rates, even as the progress toward the realization of an effective vaccine continues to sustain the hope of realizing a HIV-free globe. Thus, regardless of the prolonged battle against HIV/AIDS, extant evidence indicates that bringing the epidemic to an end is probable and within our grasp.
