Do antivirals work against bacterial infections?

No. Viruses and bacteria are different, and so are the molecules used against them. An antibiotic does nothing against a virus, and vice versa.

Why must an antiviral be started early?

Molecules such as oseltamivir and aciclovir act on viral replication, which is fastest at the beginning of an illness.

Can HIV medicines be paused?

No. Consistent daily dosing keeps the virus suppressed and prevents resistance. Any change is planned with the treating doctor.
