Abstract

This paper provides an outline of the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), its mechanism of action, and types of HIV/AIDS. Additionally, it offers recent advances and patent data on HIV medications and formulations for the last ten years. The HIV/AIDS patents describes how compounds can stop viruses from spreading and stop HIV from multiplying. It also gives information about monolithic tablets, fixed oral doses of triple HIV formulations, and drug delivery systems that use electrospun fibers. The patents also reveals the treatment for patients having liver disease by using herbal ingredients. The effects of various herbal ingredients and preparations on HIV replication, immunological function, and symptom management have been researched. Despite the encouraging randomized trial data available, it is crucial to proceed cautiously when using herbal treatments for HIV/AIDS treatment. Recent years clinical trials of HIV/AIDS were also reviewed. Herbal remedies are preferred more than other drugs because they have fewer side effects and have long-lasting effects for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. The regulation, quality assurance, and standardization of herbal products are the challenges for the industry.
