Etravirine is a second-generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) with reduced cross-resistance to first-generation NNRTIs. Because many perinatally HIV-infected patients have been treated with first-generation NNRTIs, they may have acquired resistance-associated mutations to etravirine (RAMe).
