Tenofovir is a prescription antiviral medication used to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and to manage and prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV/AIDS). It belongs to a drug class known as nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs/NtRTIs), which work by blocking the specific enzymes the viruses need to replicate in the body. While tenofovir significantly reduces viral load, it is not a cure for HIV or hepatitis B.
