Answer:

AZT, 3TC, and Nevirapine is a fixed dose combination to treat HIV-AIDS.

It is either used by itself or along with other antiretrovirals. It is recommended in those who are pregnant.

Explanation:

- AZT, used by infected cells to make new viruses.

Since AZT inhibits, or reduces the activity of this enzyme, this drug causes HIV-infected cells to produce fewer viruses.

- 3TC interferes with an enzyme called reverse transcriptase (RT) which is used by HIV-infected cells to make new viruses.Since 3TC inhibits, or reduces, the activity of this enzyme, this drug causes HIV-infected cells to produce less HIV.

-Nevirapine works by lowering the amount of HIV in the blood. It will not cure HIV infection or AIDS, however, it helps HIV from reproducing and appears to slow down the destruction of the immune system.
