SUMMARY
More than twenty-five years after its discovery, HIV-1 remains one of the worlds most formidable and destructive pathogens. Several classes of anti-HIV-1 agents are currently in widespread clinical use in developed nations; however, viral resistance to these drugs limits their effectiveness in a growing number of patients. It is therefore imperative that novel drugs be developed. Recent advances in the fields of HIV-1 molecular virology and cell biology have revealed possible new targets for drug discovery. The current status of antiretroviral therapy and some of the promising new targets against which novel antiviral agents could be developed are discussed.
