How it works

Copied from gp41, the protein HIV folds to fuse with your cells: it binds gp41 and blocks the fold, so the virus stays outside.

What it's made of

36 amino acids copied from gp41, the protein HIV uses to fuse its envelope with the cell's. The piece sticks to gp41 and does not let it fold to get in.

What it's for

Prescribed for
HIV-1 in adults whose virus already resists the other families of antiretrovirals, always together with other drugs.
