HIV Treatment Guidelines and Starting Treatment
Fact Sheets and Information - There are now six types of drugs used to treat HIV. They are called antiretrovirals (ARV). Typically, at least two classes are combined so that a regimen or combination of three drugs (some boosted) are taken. All drugs are listed starting with their brand (drug company) name, followed by generic (chemical) names.

Please check with your doctor or health care team before using any of this information to make treatment decisions. We are not recommending or endorsing any treatment.
