Best Answer

It means the actors have to take a break from what is going on to take their AZT medication since they (Roger and Mimi) both have AIDS.

Correction:: They clearly do not have AIDS they have the HIV virus.... two different things(= watch the movies closely sweetie(=

Further Correction: HIV is a virus that leads to AIDS. AZT medication holds AIDS off for a while. In the movie, Roger doesn't take an AZT break, does he? No, he doesn't, Mimi does. Therefore, he might have AIDS. Angel has AIDS too, as does Collins. Mimi has HIV. THE END.

Another Correction: In the movie, Roger does take an AZT break with Mimi at the life cafe

Can aids can be prevented with a new vaccine called azt?

AZT is a medicine used to treat HIV. It is not a vaccine. Sometimes HIV drugs can be used before exposure to the virus and reduce the risk of infection. AZT is commonly used by HIV-positive women during pregnancy to prevent passing HIV to their babies. The new born babies also use a small dose of AZT afterwards as an additional protection. The best way for women to use AZT in this way is in a combination with at least two other HIV drugs.

How does AZT works?

3-azido-3-deoxythimidine, also known as Zidovudine or AZT, functions by interfering with DNA replication.The AZT molecule was first synthesized in 1964 by a chemist called Jerome Horwitz. AZT was originally synthesized in hoping to combat cancer cell growth. However, it was deemed ineffective, and was forgotten until the outbreak of AIDS.AZT is classified as a Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NRTI). AZT replaces the nucleoside base Thymidine on the DNA strand when the synthesis of a new DNA strand occurs, during cellular division. This will terminate cellular division. This is why AZT is classified as a DNA chain terminating drug.HIV requires the host cell's DNA in order to replicate itself, and without the DNA strand fully functioning, HIV cannot replicate, and thus slowing down the reproduction of HIV.
