In a combination of three drugs, the first two drugs are sometimes called the "backbone" of the HIV treatment combination. These are two drugs in the class of nucleoside / nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs).
Tenofovir disoproxil and emtricitabine can be given together in a single combination tablet (available as a generic or Truvada brand). Similarly, tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine are available as combined tablets (Descovy).
The backbone should be taken with a third medication. There are several options:
Tenofovir disoproxil and emtricitabine can be given together in a single combination tablet (available as a generic or Truvada brand). Similarly, tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine are available as combined tablets (Descovy).
The choice of drugs should be individualized, taking into account side effects, other health problems, drug interactions and personal preferences.
