Should your PI remain the same or does it
vary from day to day. Is is something
that a healthy person needs to have
checked at any time

Whatever it is, I've never heard of it and
I'm rather healthy so NO, I don't think
it's something a healthy person should be
worrying about.

For the drugs used in AIDS, please refer
to protease inhibitor (pharmacology).
In biology and biochemistry, protease
inhibitors are molecules that inhibit the
function of peptidases (old name:
protease, hence the term protease
inhibitor). Many naturally-occurring
protease inhibitors are proteins.
In medicine, protease inhibitor is often
used interchangeably with alpha
1-antitrypsin (A1AT, which is abbreviated
Pi for this reason).[1] A1AT is indeed the
protease inhibitor most often involved in
disease, namely in alpha 1-antitrypsin
deficiency.

pharmacology:
Protease inhibitors (PIs) are a class of
medication used to treat or prevent
infection by viruses, including HIV and
Hepatitis C. PIs prevent viral replication
by inhibiting the activity of HIV-1
protease, an enzyme used by the viruses to
cleave nascent proteins for final assembly
of new virons.
Protease inhibitors have been developed or
are presently undergoing testing for
treating various viruses:
Given the specificity of the target of
these drugs there is the risk, as in
antibiotics, of the development of
drug-resistant mutated viruses. To reduce
this risk it is common to use together
different drugs aimed at different
targets.
