Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Entry inhibitors are a class of antiviral drugs that work by blocking HIV from binding itself to the surface of CD4 cells, thus preventing the virus from entering and infecting the cells. Reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors, on the other hand, target different stages of the viral replication cycle, while maturation inhibitors prevent the virus from maturing into its active form.
