What is Genvoya?
Genvoya is prescribed to treat HIV infections. It helps to reduce the viral load which improves the efficacy of your immune system. This also decreases the likelihood of experiencing complications of HIV including cancer or new infections (such as flu or throat infections).
This will not cure your condition or prevent you from spreading the virus to others. You should still follow all appropriate measures to avoid spreading HIV.

How Genvoya Works
Genvoya is a combination of Cobicistat, emtricitabine( an integrase inhibitor) and tenofovir alafenamide. These medications work better to manage HIV symptoms together than either would alone. It is safe to use in pediatric patients that are 12 years of age or older.
