Role of Anti-Viral Drugs in Chronic Viral Infections
Chronic viral infections such as HIV and hepatitis require long-term antiviral therapy. These conditions persist in the body and can cause progressive damage if left untreated.
Antiviral drugs suppress viral replication, helping maintain low viral levels and slowing disease progression. Long-term treatment improves survival rates and reduces complications such as liver damage or immune system failure.
Adherence to therapy is essential in chronic infections. Missed doses can lead to viral resistance, reducing treatment effectiveness. Regular monitoring ensures optimal outcomes.
Anti-viral drugs have transformed chronic viral infections from life-threatening diseases into manageable conditions.
