AB Antiviral  drugs  are  used  for  a  variety  of  infections,  including  herpesvirus,  hepatitis  B  (HBV)  and  C  (HCV),  and  influenza.  Antiviral  drugs  that  target  human  immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV)  are  referred  to  as  antiretrovirals.  A  wide  variety  of  antiretroviral  agents  from  different  mechanistic  classes  are  now  available  (Table  II–12).  Antiretrovirals  are  typically  given  in  combination  to  treat  HIV  infection.  New  multiple-drug  combined  formulations  have  been  developed  to  decrease  the  number  of  pills  to  take  per  day  and  increase  adherence  to  treatment  regimens.  Some  antiretrovirals  are  also  active  against  HBV.  The  management  of  HCV  has  been  revolutionized  by  the  development  of  new  anti-HCV  agents,  usually  given  in  combination.
