Question

Which of the following is used to treat AIDS?

• A. Ritonavir
• B. Indinavir
• C. Amoxycillin
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and B

Ritonavir and Indinavir are protease inhibitors that reduce the amount of HIV virus in the body. HIV virus is unable to reproduce on its own so it enters the body of the host. Protease is the enzyme that HIV uses to replicate inside the body of the host. Protease inhibitor drugs block the action of protease enzymes and inhibit the virus from replicating.

Amoxycillin is used to treat a range of infections caused by bacteria.

So, the correct answer is option D.
