Emtricitabine/Tenofovir alafenamide (FTC/TAF)
Testosterone
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration with emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide as antiviral therapy has not been studied but based on metabolism and clearance a clinically significant interaction is unlikely. Testosterone is metabolized by CYP3A4. Emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide do not interact with this metabolic pathway. Dose Descovy according to the concomitant antiretroviral. Coadministration of emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide for PrEP and testosterone (testosterone enanthate 200 mg IM) did not significantly impact plasma concentrations of tenofovir alafenamide, tenofovir and emtricitabine in a pharmacokinetic study enrolling Thai trans men (n=20). In addition, no significant changes were observed for the intracellular entities (tenofovir-DP and emtricitabine-TP) in PBMCs and rectal tissues. Tenofovir-DP and emtricitabine-TP tended to be lower in the cervical tissue, however, the clinical relevance is unknown.
