 No. Regardless of liver status, this is a bad combo. Tenofovir (one of the two drugs in Truvada) lowers the levels of Reyataz to levels that are not recommended. When Reyataz and tenofovir are taken together, the Reyataz must be boosted with Norvir. I use boosted PIs all teh time in HCV+ people some with advanced liver disease. Most do okay. Close monitoring can detect early changes in liver function. DW | |||||||||
