Answer 1

Several antiretroviral drugs are used in HIV treatment including AZT (azidothymidine), TDF (tenofovir), EFV (efavirenz), and Lamivudine (3TC). These drugs work through different mechanisms to suppress viral replication. Additionally, N-butyl deoxynojirimycin shows promise as an emerging treatment option for reducing viral load.
