Antivirals that target reverse transcriptase would be used to treat HIV.

Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme that is essential for the replication of retroviruses, including HIV. Reverse transcriptase converts the RNA genome of the virus into a DNA form that can be integrated into the host cell's DNA. By inhibiting reverse transcriptase, antivirals can prevent HIV from replicating and spreading.
