AZT (azidothymidine) is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor commonly used in the treatment of HIV infection. It works by inhibiting the replication of the virus in infected cells. Consequently, AZT treatment can lead to an increase in the number of T cells in an HIV-infected person's blood. This occurs as the virus's replication is suppressed, allowing the immune system to recover and produce more T cells. Therefore, AZT can have a beneficial effect in restoring and strengthening the immune system of HIV-infected individuals.
