Doravirine is a medication used to treat HIV-1 infection. It works by blocking a specific enzyme that the virus needs to multiply, helping to control the infection and improve the immune system.

Islatravir is another medication used in the treatment of HIV-1 infection. It helps to prevent the virus from multiplying by interfering with its ability to replicate, which aids in managing the infection and maintaining immune function.

HIV infection – Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is a condition caused by a virus that attacks the immune system, specifically targeting CD4 cells, which are crucial for fighting infections. Over time, if untreated, HIV can weaken the immune system, making the body more susceptible to other infections and diseases. The virus is primarily transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. In the early stages, individuals may experience flu-like symptoms, but as the infection progresses, it can lead to more severe health issues. Without intervention, HIV can advance to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), where the immune system is severely compromised. Regular monitoring and management are essential to control the progression of the disease.
