Today, there are 31 antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat HIV infection.These treatments do not cure people of HIV or AIDS.Rather, they suppress the virus, even to undetectable levels, but they do not completely eliminate HIV from the body. By suppressing the amount of virus in the body, people infected with HIV can now lead longer and healthier lives.hoto of a variety of different drug treatments. Credit: NIAID.

The fur of the mountain gorilla, often thicker and longer than that of other gorilla species, enables them to live in colder temperatures. Gorillas can be identified by nose prints unique to each individual. Males, at a mean weight of 195 kg (430 lb) upright standing height of 150 cm (59 in) usually weigh twice as much as the females, at a mean of 100 kg (220 lb) and a height of 130 cm (51 in).
Male gorillas weigh from 350 lbs to 500 lbs, and stand up to 5'6 ft tall on all fours. Some records have shown that male gorillas can be as much as 600 lbs. Their canines can grow up to 4 or 5 inches long. Female gorillas weigh from 190 lbs to 260 lbs, and are usually shorter than males by 3 inches. Gorillas and humans are about the same size. Male gorillas are larger than females, and are usually around 1.7m (5 ft) tall. A male gorilla can weigh 500 lbs or over and stand 6 ft tall on all fours.
