FDA approves 'Trogarzo' for HIV

Human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, is an infection that can lead AIDS when not treated. Unlike most viruses, HIV cannot be eradicated from the body completely. The virus attacks the immune system, especially a target a pollution of cells knowns CD4 (T-cells). These cells help our body fight off infections, and without their proper function, we are left vulnerable to opportunistic infections like cancers and commonly aids. Unfortunately, no cure for HIV currently exists. However, approved medications can control the HIV infection through antiretroviral therapy (ART). But, overuse use of these medications produces a lack of efficacy when patients develop multidrug-resistant HIV infection.
