The Descovy Patient Assistance Program is a program that provides financial assistance to eligible patients who are prescribed Descovy. Descovy is a prescription medicine used to treat HIV-1 infection in adults and adolescents 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 35 kg (77 lbs). Descovy is a combination of two medicines, emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide. Emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide are both nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). NRTIs work by blocking the action of an enzyme that the HIV-1 virus needs to make copies of itself. By blocking this enzyme, Descovy can help to reduce the amount of HIV-1 virus in the body and improve the immune system.
