Therapies based on non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors (PIs) have shown similar effectiveness to increase CD4+ cell counts. Regarding viral load decreases, protease inhibitors were most effective. Therapies using three nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors resulted in peak survival.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
