BMS-955176 is a maturation inhibitorâthe drug prevents HIV from producing complex âpolyproteinsâ that are cut up by protease enzymes and assembled into new virus particles. If approved, BMS-955176 would be the first HIV medication to work by preventing virus assembly, maturation, and release from infected cells.
ART are medications that treat HIV. The drugs do not kill or cure the virus. However, when taken in combination they can prevent the growth of the virus. When the virus is slowed down, so is HIV disease. Antiretroviral drugs are referred to as ARV. Combination ARV therapy (cART) is referred to as highly active ART(HAART). There are several steps in the HIV life cycle. (See Fact Sheet 106 for a diagram.) 1  Free virus circulates in the bloodstream.  HIV attaches to a cell.
