Descovy

Descovy is a prescription medication used to prevent and treat HIV infection. It combines two active ingredients—tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine—that work together to stop the virus from multiplying in the body. By reducing the amount of HIV in the blood, Descovy helps prevent the progression to AIDS and lowers the chance of transmitting the virus to others. It’s typically taken once daily and is part of a comprehensive HIV treatment plan. Before using it, a healthcare provider assesses if Descovy is suitable based on individual health conditions and other medications.
