Stavudine is used for treating HIV and AIDS. The medication works by preventing the HIV virus from changing its genetic material, which stops the virus from multiplying. Stavudine has been approved for use in children as young as newborns. Possible off-label stavudine uses include preventing HIV infection in people who are exposed to the virus (such as someone who comes in contact with an infected needle).
