COMBIVIR slows HIV from making more copies of itself. This can keep the virus from infecting new cells. It can lower the amount of HIV in your body. Your CD4 cell count can increase with the lowering of the HIV virus.
The two drugs together are stronger against the virus than either one alone. COMBIVIR should be taken with other HIV drugs.
COMBIVIR can be part of many treatments now used to fight HIV.
