keep at bay 牽制, 不使逼近


When a species of nightshade is injured by hungry beetles, it produces sugary nectar at the wound site. The nectar attracts ants that then keep the beetles at bay.

Today, HIV-positive patients have access to dozens of powerful medications that can keep the virus at bay. Three classes of drugs have emerged in the last five to 10 years as treatment mainstays: non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), protease inhibitors (PIs) and integrase inhibitors.
With so many potent medications to choose from, clinicians have embarked on several long-term clinical trials to compare the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of available treatments. Recently, many of these large studies have yielded results that have significantly impacted our understanding of the best first-line treatment.
