The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has changed from life threatening to chronic condition due to the almost universal use and accessibility of antiretroviral treatment (ART) among HIV patients. Antiretroviral (ARV) treatment works by suppressing the viral load and restoring the immune system. Once patients start Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART), it is to be continued lifelong in spite of its many adverse side effects. Zidovudine (AZT) a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor is the first line antiretroviral regimen in India, and was the first break through in AIDS therapy in 1990. It is known to be associated with life threatening toxicity like anaemia.
