Raltegravir is the first member of a new class of drugs called integrase inhibitors. The drug works by inhibiting the action of integrase enzyme that helps in the replication of the HIV virus. This prevents HIV virus from integrating its genetic material into the host cell's DNA, thereby preventing its replication and spread in the body. The other options are not integrase inhibitors; Acyclovir is used to treat herpes, Indinavir and AZT are protease inhibitors, and ddI is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor.
