Efavirenz is a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) used in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection as part of antiretroviral therapy. Efavirenz is approved by regulatory agencies and remains in clinical use today as a component of combination therapy for HIV.
