Emerging Nanotechnology Approaches for HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention.

Currently, neither a vaccine nor a treatment exist for HIV/AIDS. Combination antiretrovirals have greatly improved treatment, but they must be used for the remainder of one's life, have harmful side effects, and are ineffective in patients whose viruses develop resistance to them. The trans disciplinary science of nanotechnology is transforming medicine in the twenty-first century. It could make substantial advancements in HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention. We discuss the shortcomings of the disease's current treatment in this assessment and draw attention to the tremendous potential of nanotechnology to provide more effective anti retro viral medication, gene therapy, and immunotherapy for HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention, microbicides, and vaccine. The particle can enter thebody mostly through inhalation, direct injection, and oral in take.It has proven to have the potential to enhance viral agent treatment and prevention. Numerous NPs tested in vitro for self-therapeutic activity against the virus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
