Truvada

Truvada is a prescription medication used primarily to prevent and treat HIV infection. It contains two antiretroviral drugs—tenofovir and emtricitabine—that work together to block the virus from multiplying in the body. When taken daily as prescribed, Truvada can significantly reduce the risk of contracting HIV in high-risk individuals and is also used as part of treatment to control the virus in infected people. It is important to use Truvada under medical supervision, as it does not protect against all sexually transmitted infections and can have side effects.
