Abstract:
Topics highlighted at the XVI International AIDS Conference in Toronto included HIV/AIDS vaccine research, entry inhibitors, integrase inhibitors, new NNRTIs and PIs, single-agent therapies, pre-exposure prophylaxis and microbicides. Beside the large scientific part, policy and funding were of great concern. Within this article we are trying to focus on topics with direct clinical relevance. This includes new epidemiological and resistance data, results from current studies investigating established and novel antiretroviral drugs and drug classes as well as new findings in therapy management and strategies.

Targets for Drug Action: Overview
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...
