Abstract
In accordance with most guidelines, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) that is usually combined with emtricitabine (FTC) is a constituent of the nucleoside basis for an antiretroviral therapy regimen. This combination is used as part of first-line antiretroviral therapy. TDF may be concurrently administered with lamivudine (3TC). The review describes the data of comparable retrospective studies of the virologic efficiency of TDF/FTC and TDF/3TC regimens. The given works show a better virologic response when using the TDF/FTC regimen. And along with this, there are investigations that have shown no difference in a virologic response when using these nucleoside bases in the therapy regimens. It is concluded that the virologic efficacy of the TDF/FTC combination cannot be at least extrapolated to other TDF combinations in clinical practice.
