The second type of antiretroviral drugs is the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). These drugs are sometimes called non-nucleosides or "non-nukes."

These drugs also prevent HIV from using reverse transcriptase to make copies of itself, but in a different way.

These NNRTIs are available:

• Edurant^® (rilpivirine)
• Intelence^® (etravirine)
• Rescriptor^® (delavirdine)
• Sustiva^® (efavirenz)
• Viramune^® (nevirapine)
