Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has transformed HIV from a fatal diagnosis into a manageable chronic condition, largely due to innovative drug classes like integrase inhibitors. These medications specifically target the HIV integrase enzyme, effectively preventing the virus from multiplying and integrating its genetic material into human cells.
