Drug Resistance Fades Quickly in Key AIDS Drug One of the main weapons to prevent mother-to-child transmission of the AIDS virus during birth is the drug nevirapine. But when nevirapine is used alone just once, HIV starts becoming resistant to it. Research in Botswana shows that the resistance is not long lasting and that this affordable drug does not have to be abandoned forever by infected mothers who have already taken it. International medical guidelines call for pregnant women with advanced HIV to get a combination of AIDS drugs including nevirapine to prevent passing their infection on to their newborns during delivery. But in poor countries, combinations have been expensive and nevirapine has often been used alone, since studies have shown that a single dose can cut the transmission rate in half. The problem is that HIV resistance builds against it quickly when used alone just once because other drugs are not present to k A. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic and kills all kinds of bacteria. B. It is an antiviral preparation and kills all kinds of viruses. C. It prevents the transmission of the AIDS virus and protects one from heart attack. D. It may prevent passing HIV infection from mothers on to their newborns during delivery. [填空题]Every drug has some side effects.
