Example (Nevirapine, Delavirdin).Protease inhibitors: these inhibitors are block the enzyme to stop the HIV replication process. Example (Saquinavir,indianavir). Fusion inhibitors: Prevent the HIV from binding to human cells. Example (Enfuvirtide , Maraviroc). integrase inhibitors: These interfere the integraseenzyme, preventing the process from virus replication. Example (Raltegravir,Elvitegravir,Dolutegravir).
