Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Integrase inhibitors prevent the integration of viral DNA into the host cell DNA, which stops the formation of provirus. Protease inhibitors work by blocking the protease enzyme, which prevents the virus from maturing and infecting new cells. Reverse transcriptase inhibitors block the reverse transcriptase enzyme, which prevents the virus from copying its RNA into DNA. Tat and Capsid are viral proteins and not treatments for HIV.
