Question 1 of 5
Which class of antiretroviral drugs targets the stage of the HIV lifecycle by inhibiting RNA from forming DNA?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs). NRTIs target the stage of the HIV lifecycle by inhibiting the reverse transcriptase enzyme, which converts viral RNA into DNA. This process prevents the virus from replicating. Fusion Inhibitors (
A) work by blocking the virus from entering the host cell. Integrase Inhibitors (
B) prevent integration of the viral DNA into the host genome. Protease Inhibitors (
D) target the enzyme protease, which is involved in viral maturation. These other classes of drugs do not specifically inhibit RNA from forming DNA in the HIV lifecycle.
