There are a lot of medications used for HIV. One is AZT. In fact it's used now to prevent the transmission of the virus from mother to child when a positive woman is pregnant. There are combo drugs that are two meds. or more combined into one pill which is convenient for people who would have to take several different pills at a time. One example would be Atripla. Another is Trizivir. Sustiva is a pill that does not have other meds. combined, the same as AZT. Those are just a few examples but they're coming up with new meds. on a regular basis. So as I said, there's a LOT of meds. used to control HIV.
