Pifeltro is an antiviral medication that your doctor may prescribe for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection.HIVinfection causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), which is a long-term and fatal condition if not treated. When an HIV viral particle infects an immune system cell, it uses reverse transcriptase (RT) protein to replicate itself. Pifeltro works by incorporating into RT and stopping it from working. By shutting down RT, Pifeltro stops HIV viruses from replicating.
