Publication number: 20240041906Abstract: A process is provided for protecting a primate host from a self-replicating infection by an immunodeficiency retrovirus. Protection is achieved by administering to the primate host a combination of a pharmaceutically effective amount of a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and a pharmaceutically effective amount of a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor prior to exposure to the immunodeficiency retrovirus. The administration is effective if provided in a single dose within 24 hours of the exposure. A regime of regular daily doses is also effective in providing protection against an immunodeficiency retrovirus becoming self-replicating after infecting a primate host.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: The U.S.A., as Represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human ServicesInventors: Walid Heneine, Thomas M.
