Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the aetiological agent of acquired immunodeficiency disease syndrome (AIDS). A noticeable public health worry is associated with the fast growth of drug resistance to the present treatments and also the drugs with negative side effects because of their long-term use. Lately, there has been a quick progress in using metal nanoparticles (MNPs) due to their anti-virus activities. On the other hand, physicochemical procedures for synthesizing MNPs create some problems owing to use of toxic solvents, high consumption of energy, and formation of non-ecofriendly by-products. Therefore, it is vital to develop environment-friendly methods to synthesize MNPs. This study presents a review of anti-virus effects of MNPs on HIV/AIDS. In addition, we studied the potential of green MNPs especially silver (Ag), gold (Au), and zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs, to supply a method for treating HIV and future challenges. © 2022 The Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry
