DescriptionAbacavir (a-BAK-a-veer), and lamivudine (la-MI-vyoo-deen) combination is used in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

People who receive this medicine may continue to have other problems usually related to AIDS or HIV infection. This medicine is available only with your doctor"s prescription, in the following dosage forms:
