| Response from Dr. Holodniy
 There should be no significant interaction between these antivirals and HIV meds. We don't know the risk level, but likely those with very low CD4 counts would be at greater risk. I don't think there is anything special that anyone else would also be doing (frequent handwashing, social distancing, etc). | ||||||||
