Darunavir, Cobicistat, Emtricitabine, Tenofovir Alafenamide Overview

  • The combination of darunavir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir is used to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in adults and children weighing at least 88 pounds (40 kg) who have not been treated with other HIV medications or to replace current medication therapy in certain people already taking HIV medications. The combination of darunavir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir is in a class of medications called antivirals. Darunavir, emtricitabine, and tenofovir work by decreasing the amount of HIV in the blood. Cobicistat helps to keep darunavir in the body longer so that the medication will have a greater effect. Although the combination of darunavir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir will not cure HIV, these medications may decrease your chance of developing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and HIV-related illnesses such as serious infections or cancer. Taking these medications along with practicing safer sex and making other life-style changes may decrease the risk of transmitting the HIV virus to other people.
