Introduction

Uses

• HIV-1 infection: Helps control HIV by reducing viral multiplication and supporting immune function.

How Trustiva Tablet Works

Emtricitabine and tenofovir interfere with HIV reverse transcriptase, an enzyme required for viral replication. This helps prevent HIV from making new copies of itself and reduces the amount of virus in the body.
