Optimizing management of treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced HIV+ patients: the role of maraviroc

Eva Poveda, Vincent SorianoDepartment of Infectious Diseases, Hospital Carlos III, Madrid, SpainAbstract: Maraviroc is the first CCR5 antagonist approved for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. It specifically inhibits the replication of R5 viruses by blocking viral entry. HIV-1 tropism can be estimat...
