The article presents an overview of clinical recommendations for currant antiretroviral therapy. Currently, the current preferred first-line antiretroviral therapy regimens are combinations of 2 or 3 antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) in one tablet with a frequency of administration 1 time per day and, as a rule, include drugs of the 2nd generation (integrase inhibitors or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors). These schemes have high efficiency and a good genetic barrier in the development of HIV resistance mutations. ⋯ Schemes with the least number and spectrum of side effects, no effect on metabolic processes and minimal drug interactions have advantages. Switching patients to injectable therapy regimens with a frequency of administration of drugs once every 2 months can significantly improve the quality of life of patients and, accordingly, adherence to their treatment. The development and introduction of new classes of ARVs into clinical practice ensures the suppression of HIV replication in most patients with HIV strains resistant to drugs of the main groups of ARVs (nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase.

With the discovery and introduction of insulin, the "palette" of life-threatening conditions for patients with diabetes mellitus has changed dramatically: from diabetic coma of the "pre-insulin era" to severe vascular complications in the modern period. The key risk factors for diabetic angiopathies in diabetes mellitus are poor glycemic control in combination with a long course of the disease. ⋯ However, the incidence of chronic kidney disease and chronic heart failure is still increasing. The Joslin Medal, awarded to patients over 50, 75 and even 80 years of life with diabetes, reflects success in the fight against this disease.

Autoimmunity and autoinflammation, co-potentiating pathological processes, are considered within the "immune-inflammatory" continuum (continuity with a variety of elements), reflecting the close relationship between the innate and acquired immune responses. Autoimmunity is the leading pathogenetic mechanism for a specific type of human chronic inflammatory disorders - autoimmune diseases, affecting more than 10% of people in the general population. Advances in molecular biology, pharmacogenetics, and bioinformatics provided the background for individualizing therapy for systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases within personalized medicine. Studying the immunopathogenesis mechanisms, improving diagnostics, interpreting the molecular taxonomy, and developing approaches to the prevention and personalized therapy of systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases are the priority issues of modern medicine.
