Key takeaways
Genvoya (elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide) and Edurant (rilpivirine) are both medications used to treat HIV, but they have some key differences. Genvoya is a combination of four medications, including two NRTIs, an INSTI, and a booster, and is taken once daily with food. Edurant, on the other hand, is a single NNRTI medication that must be taken with other antiretroviral medications and is also taken once daily with a meal. Both medications are available only as a brand-name medication. Genvoya is not recommended for use during pregnancy, while Edurant can be used during pregnancy. Edurant can be used short-term before starting Cabenuva injections. Both medications have specific side effects and interactions with other medications, so it's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions closely.
