usage:
zidovudine is the first u.s. government-approved treatment for hiv therapy, prescribed under the name retrovir. zidovudine was the first breakthrough in aids therapy, significantly reducing the replication of the virus in patients and leading to clinical and immunologic improvements. it can also be used to prevent hiv transmission, such as from mother to child during the period of birth or after a needle stick. used by itself in hiv-infected patients, zidovudine safely slows hiv replication in patients, but generally does not stop it entirely. this may allow hiv to become zidovudine-resistant over time, and for this reason, zidovudine is usually used in conjunction with the other anti-hiv drugs in combination therapy called highly active antiretroviral therapy (haart).
