<span>HIV medications can help lower your viral load, fight infections, and improve your quality of life. But even if you take them, you can still give HIV to others. They're not a cure for HIV.The goals for these medicines are to:<span>Control the growth of the virusImprove how well your immune system worksSlow or stop symptomsCause as few side effects as possible</span>The FDA has approved more than two dozen antiretroviral drugs to treat HIV infection. They're often broken into six groups because they work in different ways. Doctors recommend taking a combination or "cocktail" of at least two of them. This is called antiretroviral therapy, or ART.Your doctor will let you know specifically how you should take your medications. You need to follow the directions exactly, and you shouldn't miss even one dose. Or you could develop drug-resistant strains of HIV, and your medication may stop working.Some other medicines and supplements don't mix well with HIV drugs, so make sure you tell your doctor about everything you're taking.</span><span>Nucleoside/Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs)NRTIs force the HIV virus to use faulty versions of building blocks so infected cells can't make more HIV.<span><span>Abacavir, or ABC (Ziagen)</span><span>Didanosine, or ddl (Videx)</span><span>Emtricitabine, or FTC (Emtriva)</span><span>Lamivudine, or 3TC (Epivir)</span><span>Stavudine, or d4T (Zerit)</span><span>Tenofovir, or TDF (Viread)</span><span>Zidovudine, or AZT or ZDV (Retrovir)</span></span></span><span>Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs)These are also called "non-nukes." NNRTIs bind to a specific protein so the HIV virus can't make copies of itself, similar to jamming a zipper.<span><span>Delavirdine (Rescriptor)</span><span>Efavirenz (Sustiva)</span><span>Etravirine (Intelence)</span><span>Nevirapine (Viramune)</span>Rilpivirine (Edurant)</span></span><span>Protease Inhibitors (PIs)These drugs block a protein that infected cells need to put together new copies of the HIV virus.

The kidney is considered a major homeostatic organ because it maintains the balance of what substances in the blood?
enyata [817]

The kidney is considered a major homeostatic organ because it maintains the balance of water, ions, and electrolytes in the blood.

Kidneys extract wastes and excess fluid from the body, kidneys also remove acid that is created by the cells in the body and sustain a healthy equilibrium of salts, water, and minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphorus in the blood.

Each kidney consists of almost a million filtering units called nephrons. Every nephron has a filter, called the tubule, and a glomerulus. The nephrons function via a two-step process, the glomerulus purifies the blood, and the tubule returns required substances to the blood and clears wastes.

Most deer mouse populations inhabit regions with dark soils. These deer mice have dark brown fur. Populations of deer mice found
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Tan fur helps the mice protect themselves from predators

Explanation:

The entrenchment of this phenotype in the population is powered by natural selection pressures. The mice with fur color that enable them to camouflage with their environment are predated less than mice with other fur colors. These tan mice are therefore more likely to survive and pass their genes to the next generation. Through successive generations, the allelic frequency for the tan fur color increases until it is the dominant allele in the population.
