Can anyone shed light on whether or not we'll be given the full drug name on Step 1 as opposed to an abbreviation. I ask because I don't want to put myself through the pain of memorizing these (for example: Stavudine = d4T, Lamivudine = 3TC), I'll bite the bullet if need be.

Took it a couple days ago and didn't see any. Often when they use abbreviations or naming variations, they'll put the variation in parentheses next to the actual name.

You only need to know the full generic name. Step1 doesn't use the abbreviations.

If you get a vignette of a patient with HIV/AIDS, give rifabutin over rifampin for TB bc the latter increases the rate of degradation of protease inhibitors.
