How Does It Work?

• Tenofovir disoproxil works by blocking a virus enzyme that is needed for the virus to multiply. This helps reduce the amount of virus in your body and protects your immune system. It doesn’t cure HIV or hepatitis B, but it helps control them.
• Emtricitabine works by inhibiting an enzyme that the HIV virus requires to replicate. This helps lower the amount of virus in the body and supports the immune system. It does not cure HIV, but it helps manage it when taken regularly.
