As it pertains to HIV/AIDS, two or more drugs used together to achieve optimum results control HIV infection. Typically, at least three drugs from two different classes are used. An example of combination therapy is two nucleoside analogs (such as 3TC and AZT) plus either a protease inhibitor or a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. See Synergism.
