Abstract		The acronym AIDS "acquired immunodeficiency syndrome" has become the symbol for one of the biggest challenges to medicine in the 20th century. Already 2 years after the first reports on patients suffering from Kaposi's sarcoma or Pneumocystis carnii pneumonia a human retrovirus was identified as the infectious cause for AIDS. This retrovirus, now known as human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), has been the target of combined effort of biological, medical and pharmacological research over the past decade. Whereas many different antiretroviral therapeutic strategies are currently still tested in laboratories or in clinical trials, some anti-HIV-1 drugs have already made their way to clinical routine application.
