Control variable
Description
Purpose
Fusion inhibitors
Are a class of antiretroviral drugs that work on the outside of the host T-cell to prevent HIV from fusing with and infecting it.
Reverse transcriptase inhibitors
Are a class of antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV infection by inhibiting the reverse transcription process.
Protease inhibitors
Are a class of antiviral drugs that are widely used to treat HIV/AIDS by inhibiting the production of protease enzyme necessary for the production of infectious viral particles.
