• HIV pathogenesis
• Nanotechnology and the need for innovation
• Role of nanotechnology in HIV diagnostics, drug delivery, and therapy
In section I, the disease characteristics of HIV infection and the viral life cycle are discussed, and the possible target sites for therapeutic intervention are also assessed. The second section delves into the basics of nanoscience and the myriad of possibilities that it offers. The pros and cons of nanotechnology-based therapeutics, along with the need for newer, rapid, and realistic approaches to tackle HIV infection, are explored. Section III examines the various advancements and trends in the diagnosis of the disease condition through nanotechnology-based applications, materials, and tools. This section then progresses to the critical aspects of drug delivery and therapy and concludes by outlining the potential for the development of future nano-based antiretroviral therapies.
