Answer:

It's a, antiretroviral medication or ART(antiretroviral therapy)!

Step-by-step explanation:

It's called antiretroviral therapy because the viral that causes AIDs is a retro virus, which consists of a RNA instead of a DNA in them and they have an enzyme called reverse transcripts that helps them transcribe their RNA into DNA after entering host cell.

ART:

There is no true cure for AID but the medication that is recommended to limit the growth of the virus is actually a group of drugs from different classes , that is called the antiretroviral therapy.

Those include classes

  • NNRTIs
  • Fusion inhibitors
  • PIs
  • NRITs
  • Integrase inhibitor
