Pharmacology
Rilpivirine is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) that inhibits HIV-1 replication by non-competitive inhibition of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.
Dolutegravir is an HIV-1 integrase strand transfer inhibitor that blocks the strand transfer step of retroviral DNA integration essential for HIV replication by binding to the integrase active site.
