- 3. Viral infection commonly transmitted through saliva (kissing or sharing a drink), producing painful sores.
- 8. Viral liver infection largely obtained through shared syringes intended for intravenous drug use.
- 10. Drug used primarily to treat HIV/AIDS by inhibiting viral reproduction.
- 13. Drugs used to treat HIV which binds to HIV viruses, preventing reproduction.
- 16. Antiviral which targets a large range of viruses.
