Q

NNRTI AE (except doravarine)

A
  • liver toxicity
  • rash usually six weeks
  • hyperglycemia
  • hyperlipidemia
  • Efavirenz (dose QHS) and Rilpivirine cause neuropsychiatric effects
24
Q

NNRTI DDI (except doravarine)

A
  • Efavirenz, Nevirapine, and Etravirine are CYP3A4 inhibitors
  • Rilpivirine is a substrate of CYP3A4
25
Q

Supporting TDF

A
  • Longer experience with greater number of patients with TDF VS TAF
  • Coformulations with many regimens

  • Preferred NRTI in pregnancy
  • Available with generic NRTI combinations with 3TC and FTC
26
Q

Supporting TAF

A
  • Has less impact on bone mineral density

- Less impact on markers of renal tubular dysfunction

27
Q

A

Bictegravir

28
Q

FTC

A

Emtricitabine

29
Q
