CCR5 antagonists are used to treat HIV in certain adults and kids. These medications work by blocking the CCR5 receptor on the surface of certain immune cells, which prevents the HIV virus from entering and infecting these cells. An example of a CCR5 antagonist is an oral medication called maraviroc (Selzentry).
MARAVIROC helps manage the symptoms of HIV infection. It works by limiting the spread of HIV in the body. This medication is not a cure for HIV or AIDS and it may still be possible to spread HIV to others while taking it. It does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
