ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to methods for therapeutic and prophylactic treatment of cats against FIV infection. Methods of the present invention utilize a combination of antiretroviral compounds to treat or prevent FIV infection in a feline animal. In one embodiment, the method comprises administering an effective amount of AZT and another nucleoside analog, such as, for example, 3TC to the animal. In another embodiment, cats are given an effective dose(s) of AZT, 3TC, and a retroviral protease inhibitor.
