Ritonavir

Ritonavir is used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs (ART) to treat HIV infection. Protease inhibitors, of which ritonavir is a member, are a class of drugs. The anti-HIV medication works by reducing the quantity of the virus in the blood. In the long run, it may reduce your risk of acquiring AIDS and other HIV-related illnesses including major infections or cancer, despite the fact that ritonavir is not a cure for the virus. HIV transmission risk can be reduced by taking these drugs in conjunction with safe sex and adopting other lifestyle modifications.
