You start the patient on a combination of treatments including TDF (Tenofovir) which is a reverse transcriptase inhibitor medication and RTV (Ritonavir) which is a protease inhibitor. RTI medications prevent the viral RNA polymerase from creating DNA sequences and protease inhibitors prevent formation of functional proteins. The use of these two medications are blocking which stage of viral replication? A. Uncoating B. Penetration C. Synthesis D. Release E. Adsorption
