Which medication is commonly used to treat outbreaks and minimize symptoms of HIV and AIDS?

Reproductive hormones
Antibiotics
Antifungals
Antivirals

The correct answer is: Antivirals

Antivirals are the correct choice for the medication commonly used to treat outbreaks and minimize symptoms of HIV and AIDS. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) are caused by a virus, not bacteria or fungi, so antibiotics and antifungals would not be effective in treating these conditions. Reproductive hormones are not used to treat HIV or AIDS symptoms; antivirals are specifically designed to target viral infections like HIV. Antiviral medications help to slow down the replication of the virus in the body, reduce symptoms, and improve the quality of life for individuals living with HIV and AIDS.
