Antiretrovirals Sample Clauses

Antiretrovirals. In developed countries, standard treatment for persons who are naïve to ARVs consists of three-drug combinations of two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) with either an HIV-1 protease inhibitor (PI) or an NNRTI. These regimens provide effective inhibition of HIV-1 replication that results in functional immune reconstitution, a decrease in the risk of AIDS-related events, and improved survival [D’Aquila, 1996; Xxxxxx, 1997; Xxxxxx, 1997; Autran, 1997; Xxxxxxx, 1998]. The World Health Organization ART guidelines for resource-limited settings recommend regimens comprising two NRTIs with one NNRTI as first-line regimens, taking into account efficacy, toxicity, cost and availability, and cold chain requirements of various regimens [WHO, 2003]. PI-based regimens may, however, have superior efficacy in women who have previously taken SD NVP (one of the hypotheses being tested in A5208/OCTANE). The cost and availability of ARVs in resource-limited settings change rapidly; in 2000, the yearly cost of a three-drug antiretroviral regimen for one patient was approximately $15,000 per year in such settings, and is as low as $150 per year in 2004. It is important to establish the efficacy and tolerability of available antiretrovirals in sub-Saharan Africa, where ART is increasingly available and where 70% of persons living with HIV reside.
