The natural history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has been altered through the development of drugs targeting two key viral enzymes, reverse transcriptase and protease. Continued advances from basic science have unearthed many other points of attack in the HIV life cycle that could lead to new classes of HIV therapeutics.
