New HIV Drug Approved: Integrase Inhibitor

The FDA has recently approved of a new drug, Isentress, to fight HIV infection by stoping the virus from integrating into the host's DNA. It is still rather expensive, but the benefits to having another drug of a different class from proteases or reverse transcriptase inhibitors is a great thing.
