OverviewDolutegravir is a type of medication known as an integrase inhibitor. This class of drugs is used to treat HIV infection by preventing the virus from multiplying and spreading within the body. Dolutegravir works by targeting a specific enzyme, called integrase, which is essential for HIV replication. To understand how dolutegravir works as an integrase inhibitor, it is important to first understand the role of integrase in the HIV life cycle. HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system by targeting and infecting CD4+ T cells, which are a type of white blood cell responsible for fighting off infections. Once inside a CD4+ T cell, HIV uses its own genetic material, called RNA, to make a copy of itself in the form of DNA. This process is known as reverse transcription.
