HIV medications

Classes

Class Examples Description
Nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) tenofovir, emtricitabine, abacavir Nucleoside/nucleotide analogues that get incorporated into viral DNA by reverse transcriptase, causing missense or non-sense mutations. The backbone of HIV treatments, with a high barrier to resistance.
Non-NRTI efavirenz Actively inhibit reverse transcriptase at its active site. Resistance develops with a single point mutation.
Protease inhibitor (PI) dirunavir Inhibits protease, which is required for processing proteins in the creation of the virion. Causes a metabolic syndrome.
Integrase inhibitor (INSTI) raltegravir, dolutegravir, bictegravir Extremely potent with few side effects. Take separate from PPIs etc.
Fusion inhibitor
CCR5 inhibitor
CD4-mAb ibalizumab Blocks entry of HIV into CD4 cells.

Specific Medications

Medication AKA Class Notes
lamivudine 3TC NRTI
emtricitabine FTC NRTI
tenofovir disoproxol TDF NRTI
tenofovir alafenamide TAF NRTI Fewer renal and bone effects.
zidovudine AZT NRTI
abacavir ABC NRTI Need to check HLA-B5701 before starting therapy.
efavirenz EFZ NNRTI
rilpivirine RPV NNRTI Take with meal, not with PPI.
doravirine DOR NNRTI
lopinavir/ritonavir LPV/r PI GI side effects.
darunivir DRV PI
dolutegravir DTG INSTI Increases metformin levels. Avoid in pregnancy.
elvitegravir/cobicistat EVG/c INSTI Requires booster that has drug interaction.
raltegravir RAL INSTI First INSTI. BID dosing. Only INSTI that can be used in pregnancy.
bictegravir BIC INSTI
cabotegravir CAB INSTI Long-acting injectable available.
ibalizumab CD4-receptor antibody.

Single-Tablet Regimens

Brand name NRTIs Non-NRTI Notes
Triumeq ABC/3TC DTG (INI) Highest barrier to resistance. Need to test for HLA-B5701 allele before starting. Avoid in hepatitis B coinfection.
Atripla TDF/FTC EFZ Older regimen. Neuropsychiatric symptoms, possibly including suicide.
Complera TDF/FTC RPV Avoid with viral loads (>100,000) or low CD4 (<200). Pill must be taken with food (>400kcal) and without PPIs.
Stribild TDF/FTC EVG/c (INI) Includes a P450 inhibitor to boost elvitegravir levels, with resultant drug-drug interactions. Avoid if CrCl <70.
Genvoya TAF/FTC ELV/c (INI)
Biktarvy TAF/FTC BIC (INI)

Considerations

  • Hepatitis B: Avoid Triumeq; use TDF/FTC-based regimen instead
  • CKD: Avoid Stribild in CrCl <70
