 This will be a major question. Right now the use of lamivudine alone or emtricitabine alone would greatly concern me due to the risk of hepatitis B resistance. Combination with tenofovir would certainly be most welcome, if costs can be accomodated. Other choices for hepatitis B are probably not going to be more affordable..Furthermore the other medications (entecavir and telbivudine) do not offer therapy against HIV. | ||||||||
