Nucleic Compounds

 Apurinic Acid (a synthetic, chemically modified form of DNA) may inhibit the HIV Virus that causes AIDS.  [2]

 Isoprinosine may be a promising treatment for AIDS:  [3]

 One study has demonstrated that 28 days of Isoprinosine treatment resulted in clinical improvement in 29% of AIDS patients and this improvement persisted for six months after the last administration of Isoprinosine.

 

Prescribed Medications

 Some types of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids (A-ASs) are prescribed by physicians to AIDS patients (A-ASs may help to counteract the Cachexia (Muscle Wasting syndrome) that occurs during the progression of AIDS):  [4]
