The antiretroviral drugs dolutegravir and emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (DTG+FTC/TAF) may comprise the safest and most effective HIV treatment regimen currently available during pregnancy, researchers announced today.
Is it safe to take Arvs while pregnant?
During your pregnancy and delivery, you should take antiretroviral drugs (used to treat or prevent HIV) to lower the risk of passing the infection to your baby – even if your HIV viral load is very low. If you and your baby do not take antiretroviral drugs, there is about a 1 in 4 chance that your baby will get HIV.
What is the name of the new ARV pill?
Early results from people taking a new antiretroviral medication called lenacapavir are promising. The long-acting drug is still at the research stage, but if the developers are able to pair it effectively with other drugs that also only needs to be taken twice a year, it could revolutionise HIV treatment.
