Abstract
There is no cure for HIV, but there are treatments to enable most people with the virus to live a long and healthy life. AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection, when your body can no longer fight life-threatening infections. With early diagnosis and effective treatment, most people with HIV will not go on to develop AIDS. present study shows, In low resource settings, fixed-dose combinations of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) such as Tenofovir and Lamivudine; and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) such as Efavirenz, are commonly used as Antiretroviral therapy for HIV-infected patients in order to increase adherence to lifelong treatment. The purpose of the study is to determine the Safety and Efficacy of Anti-Retroviral Drug Regimens ZLN (Zidovudine+Lamivudine+Nevirapine) And TLE (Tenofovir+Lamivudine+Efavirenz) in Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital. From the study both ZLN and TLE regimens for treatment in HIV patients are efficacious in improving both CD4 count (p value: 0.016). Now even though the combination of ZLN is very efficacious as a anti retroviral drug regimen, but TLE should be preferred by the physicians in Govt.general hospital.
