GlossaryHIV entry inhibitor

prevents HIV from entering and infecting immune cells

An HIV entry inhibitor is a type of antiretroviral drug that prevents the HIV virus from entering human immune cells, specifically CD4+ T cells. By blocking the virus's ability to fuse with the cell membrane, these inhibitors stop the infection process at an early stage, thereby reducing the viral load in the body and helping to manage HIV infection.
