Enfuvirtide, sold under the brand name Fuzeon, is a medication used to treat and prevent HIV/AIDS. It is used together with other medications when resistance has occurred. It is given by injection under the skin.

Common side effects include pain at the site of injection, peripheral nerve damage, and weight loss. Other side effects may include osteonecrosis, liver problems, allergic reactions, and immune reactivation syndrome. While there is no evidence of harm in pregnancy, such use has not been well studied. It is an HIV fusion inhibitor.

Enfuvirtide was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2003. In the United Kingdom it costs the NHS about £1,100 a month as of 2021. This amount in the United States costs about 3,500 USD.
