Integrase

So without that step, integration can't happen, and without integration, messenger RNA can't be produced.

Integrase inhibitors block the insertion of that viral DNA into the host genome.

So again, no integration means an unstable infection that can be more easily overcome by the immune system.

Protease inhibitors prevent viral proteins from being processed.

They block the CCR5 receptor in the CD4T lymphocytes, which prevents the virus from entering the cell.

Integrase strand transfer inhibitors.

This drug blocks integrase.

Integrase is used by the virus to insert its DNA into the DNA of the host CD4T cell.

If you block integrase, it can't integrate.

Post-attachment inhibitors.
