What medication is commonly administered for HIV treatment?

Coumadin
Robitussin
Dimetapp
Triumeq

The correct answer is: Triumeq

The correct answer is Triumeq, which is a medication specifically designed for the treatment of HIV. Triumeq is a combination therapy that includes three active ingredients: abacavir, dolutegravir, and lamivudine. These components work together to suppress the replication of the HIV virus in the body, helping to maintain a lower viral load and improve immune function. This medication is widely used in practice for its effectiveness and the convenience of combining multiple drugs into a single daily tablet, which can improve adherence to treatment regimens. In contrast, Coumadin is an anticoagulant used to prevent blood clots, Robitussin is an over-the-counter cough syrup addressing cough symptoms, and Dimetapp is an antihistamine often used for relieving allergy symptoms. None of these medications target the HIV virus, highlighting the specificity of Triumeq in HIV management.
