Combination Therapy Against a Fast-Mutating Virus
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Combining antiviral drugs that target different replication steps makes resistance to all of them far less likely.
Show
Drug classes exist against four replication steps; HIV therapy mixes drugs from two or three classes so resistance to all is unlikely.
Watch for
A single antiviral drug alone lets a fast-mutating RNA virus evolve resistance quickly — combination therapy slows that evolution.
