HAART refers to the concurrent, as opposed to sequential, administration of two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (e.g., AZT and 3TC) and a highly active protease inhibitor (e.g., Indinavir) in the treatment of newly diagnosed HIV patients. This triple-therapy protocol is becoming the first-line defense against HIV and related opportunistic infections. Source: IMS America press release - 10/14/97; Reuters - 01/29/98.
Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy, a term used to describe anti-HIV combination therapy with three or more drugs.
Refers to milti-drug combinations used to fight HIV, uses combinations of three or more Antiretroviral.
The name given to treatment regimens recommended by leading HIV experts to aggressively suppress viral replication and progress of HIV disease. The usual HAART regimen combines three or more different drugs such as two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and a protease inhibitor , two NRTIs and a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) or other combinations. These treatment regimens have been shown to reduce the amount of virus so that it becomes undetectable in a patient's blood.
The aggressive treatment of HIV infection through combination therapy to reduce the amount of virus and get to undetectable (fewer than 400 or fewer than 50 copies of virus per milliliter of blood).
a combination of protease inhibitors taken with reverse transcriptase inhibitors; used in treating AIDS and HIV
Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy - treatment of HIV/AIDS with a cocktail of three or more drugs
Highly active anti-retroviral therapy. A cocktail of three or more drugs which in combination are strong enough to reduce viral loads to very low levels
Stands for Highly Active Antiretroviral Treatment. HAART is defined as treatment with at least three active anti-retroviral medications (ARV's), typically two nucleoside or nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI's) plus a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) or a protease inhibitor (PI) or another NRTI called abacavir (Ziagen). HAART is often called the drug "cocktail" or triple-therapy. [See HIV Basics Treatment Options
Highly active antiretroviral therapy. Combinations of drugs people with HIV take to control the virus.
highly active antiretroviral therapy, a term for aggressive anti-HIV treatment.
Stands for ighly ctive nti etroviral herapy. Treatment with a very potent drug "cocktail" to suppress the growth of HIV, the retrovirus responsible for AIDS.
stands for highly active antiretroviral therapy. HAART refers to the combination of HIV medications currently used to treat HIV. HAART does not cure HIV but can reduce the level of HIV in the body to very low levels and prevent destruction of the immune system. In order for the medications to remain effective, medications need to be taken as directed by your doctor. (See "resistance")
Potent antiretroviral treatment usually including a combination of three or more drugs whose purpose is to reduce viral load to undetectable levels.
a term for combination therapy (Highly- Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy), usually 3 or 4 anti-retrovirals.
Highly active antiretroviral therapy. Refers to a combination of anti-HIV drugs.
Highly active antiretroviral therapy. Treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection that uses a combination of several antiretroviral drugs. The drugs inhibit the ability of the virus to multiply in the body, and they slow down the development of AIDS.
highly active antiretroviral chemotherapy.
See Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART).
Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy. Term used since the arrival of the Protease Inhibitors (Proteinase Inhibitors) in 1995. HAART is the therapy that is prescribed to many HIV-positive people even before they develop symptoms of AIDS. The therapy usually includes one Nucleoside Analogue Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NRTI), one Protease Inhibitor (Proteinase Inhibitor) and either a second Nucleoside Analogue Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NRTI) or a Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NNRTI).
Highly active antiretroviral therapy. Usually means a combination of at least three HIV antivirals from at least two of the three classes of anti-HIV drugs available: Nucleoside and nucleotide analogues, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors.
Abbreviation for highly active antiretroviral therapy.
