Severe acute exacerbations of hepatitis B virus (HBV) have been reported in HBV-infected patients who have discontinued anti-hepatitis B therapy. Hepatic function should be monitored closely with both clinical and laboratory follow-up for at least several months in HBV-infected patients who discontinue anti-hepatitis B therapy. If appropriate, resumption of anti-hepatitis B therapy may be warranted.
Note: International considerations: Doses are expressed as tenofovir disoproxil fumarate salt, consistent with US and Canadian labeling; in some other countries, dosing may be expressed as tenofovir disoproxil base. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg is equivalent to tenofovir disoproxil base 245 mg.
Hepatitis B infection, treatment: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: Oral: 300 mg once daily.
Treatment duration: Treatment duration for nucleos(t)ide analog-based therapy (eg, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) is variable and influenced by HBeAg status, duration of hepatitis B virus (HBV) suppression, and presence of cirrhosis/decompensation (Ref).
Patients without cirrhosis:
Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive immune-active chronic hepatitis: Treat until HBeAg seroconversion; after seroconversion, prolonged consolidation therapy is often required in patients treated with nucleos(t)ide analogues to prevent hepatitis flares. Optimal duration is unknown; however, consolidation therapy is generally a minimum of 12 months of persistently normal ALT and undetectable serum HBV DNA levels after HBeAg seroconversion (Ref).
HBeAg-negative immune-active chronic hepatitis: Indefinite antiviral therapy is suggested unless there is compelling rationale for discontinuation (risk/benefit decision); treatment discontinuation may be considered in patients with loss of HBsAg; however, there is insufficient evidence to guide decisions in these patients (Ref).
Patients with compensated cirrhosis:
HBeAg-positive immune-active chronic hepatitis: In patients who seroconvert on therapy, continue antiviral therapy indefinitely due to concerns with decompensation and death, unless there is a strong competing rationale for discontinuation (Ref).
HBeAg-negative immune-active chronic hepatitis: Treatment discontinuation is not recommended due to potential for decompensation and death (limited data) (Ref).
Patients with decompensated cirrhosis: For individuals with decompensated cirrhosis, indefinite therapy is recommended regardless of HBV DNA level, HBeAg status, or ALT level (Ref).
Viral breakthrough: For patients with confirmed viral breakthrough (HBV DNA ≥100 units/mL with previously undetectable levels [<10 units/mL] or >1 log increase in HBV DNA), either switch to an alternative antiviral monotherapy agent with a high genetic barrier to resistance or add a second antiviral agent with a complementary resistance profile; consult current clinical practice guidelines for recommended agents (Ref).
Hepatitis B virus reactivation prophylaxis, immunocompromised patients (off-label use): Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: Oral: 300 mg once daily (Ref).
Hepatitis B virus reinfection prophylaxis, post liver transplant (off-label use): Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: Oral: 300 mg once daily (Ref).
HIV-1 infection, treatment: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: Oral: 300 mg once daily in combination with other antiretrovirals.
HIV-1 nonoccupational postexposure prophylaxis (nPEP) (off-label use): Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: Oral: 300 mg once daily for 28 days in combination with other antiretroviral agents. Initiate therapy within 72 hours of exposure. Note: The fixed dose emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate combination product is recommended for these components of the 3-drug regimen (Ref).
HIV-1 occupational postexposure prophylaxis (oPEP) (off-label use): Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: Oral: 300 mg once daily in combination with emtricitabine and raltegravir; initiate therapy as soon as possible after occupational exposure (and within 72 hours) and continue for 4 weeks. Note: The fixed dose emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate combination product is recommended for these components of the 3-drug regimen (Ref).
Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.

Note: International considerations: Doses are expressed as tenofovir disoproxil fumarate salt, consistent with US and Canadian labeling; in some other countries, dosing may be expressed as tenofovir disoproxil base. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg is equivalent to tenofovir disoproxil base 245 mg.
Chronic kidney disease prior to treatment:
Note: Tenofovir is associated with proximal tubular injury, Fanconi syndrome, and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Avoid use in patients with preexisting CKD (GFR <60 mL/minute/1.73 m2 or CrCl <50 mL/minute), especially if the patient has any proximal tubular impairment (Ref). If tenofovir disoproxil fumarate cannot be avoided, the following dose adjustments are recommended:
Altered kidney function:
CrCl ≥50 mL/minute: No dosage adjustment necessary (Ref).
CrCl 30 to <50 mL/minute: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: 300 mg every 48 hours (Ref) or 150 mg once daily (Ref).
CrCl 10 to <30 mL/minute: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: 300 mg twice weekly (every 72 to 96 hours) (Ref).
CrCl <10 mL/minute: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: Has not been studied; avoid use. If no alternative therapy is available, then may consider 300 mg every 7 days; use with caution and close monitoring (Ref).
Hemodialysis, intermittent (thrice weekly): Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: 300 mg following dialysis every 7 days; use with caution and close monitoring (Ref). Note: One small study in patients with HIV on hemodialysis receiving 300 mg once weekly reported elevated steady-state tenofovir plasma and intracellular peripheral blood mononuclear cell concentrations compared to healthy volunteers; less frequent or lower doses may be effective, although more research is needed (Ref).
Peritoneal dialysis: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: Avoid use if possible (has not been studied). If no alternative therapy is available, then may consider 300 mg every 7 days; use with caution and close monitoring (Ref). Note: One case report noted a serum trough level above the accepted therapeutic window with once-weekly dosing; adjustment of dose to 300 mg every 2 weeks resulted in a serum trough level within the accepted therapeutic window (Ref).
CRRT: Note: Drug clearance is dependent on the effluent flow rate, filter type, and method of renal replacement. Recommendations are based on high-flux dialyzers and effluent flow rates of 20 to 25 mL/kg/hour (or ~1,500 to 3,000 mL/hour) unless otherwise noted.
Dose as for CrCl 10 to <30 mL/minute (expert opinion derived from a single case report (Ref).
Acute kidney injury during treatment: Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines recommend discontinuing tenofovir (and substituting with alternative antiretroviral therapy) in HIV-infected patients who develop a decline in GFR (a >25% decrease in GFR from baseline and to a level of <60 mL/minute/1.73 m2) during use, particularly in presence of proximal tubular dysfunction (eg, euglycemic glycosuria, increased urinary phosphorus excretion and hypophosphatemia, proteinuria [new onset or worsening]) (Ref).
No dosage adjustment necessary.
Refer to adult dosing.

Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Decreased bone mineral density: In clinical trials in adults with HIV-1, use has been associated with decreases in bone mineral density and increases in bone metabolism markers. Serum parathyroid hormone and 1,25 vitamin D levels were also higher. Decreases in bone mineral density have also been observed in clinical trials of HIV-1 infected pediatric patients. Observations in chronic hepatitis B infected pediatric patients were similar. In all pediatric clinical trials, skeletal growth (height) appears unaffected. Effects on long-term bone health and future fracture risk in adult and pediatric patients, including long-term effects on skeletal growth in pediatric patients and effects of extended duration in younger children, is unknown. Consider monitoring of bone density in adult and pediatric patients with a history of pathologic fractures or with other risk factors for bone loss or osteoporosis. Consider calcium and vitamin D supplementation for all patients; effect of supplementation has not been studied but may be beneficial. If abnormalities are suspected, expert assessment is recommended.
• Immune reconstitution syndrome: Patients may develop immune reconstitution syndrome resulting in the occurrence of an inflammatory response to an indolent or residual opportunistic infection during initial HIV treatment or activation of autoimmune disorders (eg, Graves’ disease, polymyositis, Guillain-Barré syndrome) later in therapy; further evaluation and treatment may be required.
• Lactic acidosis/hepatomegaly: Lactic acidosis and severe hepatomegaly with steatosis, sometimes fatal, have been reported with the use of nucleoside analogs, alone or in combination with other antiretrovirals. Suspend treatment in any patient who develops clinical or laboratory findings suggestive of lactic acidosis or pronounced hepatotoxicity (marked transaminase elevation may/may not accompany hepatomegaly and steatosis).
• Osteomalacia and renal dysfunction: May cause osteomalacia with proximal renal tubulopathy. Bone pain, extremity pain, fractures, arthralgias, weakness and muscle pain have been reported. In patients at risk for renal dysfunction, persistent or worsening bone or muscle symptoms should be evaluated for hypophosphatemia and osteomalacia.
• Renal toxicity: May cause renal toxicity (acute renal failure and/or Fanconi syndrome); avoid use with concurrent or recent nephrotoxic therapy (including high dose or multiple NSAID use). Acute renal failure has occurred in HIV-infected patients with risk factors for renal impairment who were on a stable tenofovir regimen to which a high dose or multiple NSAID therapy was added. Consider alternatives to NSAIDs in patients taking tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and at risk for renal impairment. Assess serum creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl), urine protein, and urine glucose prior to initiation of therapy and during therapy; in patients with chronic kidney disease, also assess serum phosphorus. Dosage adjustment required in patients with CrCl <50 mL/minute. IDSA guidelines recommend discontinuing tenofovir (and substituting with alternative antiretroviral therapy) in HIV-infected patients who develop a decline in GFR (a >25% decrease in GFR from baseline and to a level of <60 mL/minute/1.73 m2) during use, particularly in presence of proximal tubular dysfunction (eg, euglycemic glycosuria, increased urinary phosphorus excretion and hypophosphatemia, proteinuria [new onset or worsening]) (IDSA [Lucas 2014]).
Disease-related concerns:
• Hepatic impairment: Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment. Limited data supporting treatment of chronic hepatitis B in patients with decompensated liver disease; observe for increased adverse reactions, including renal dysfunction.
• Renal impairment: Use with caution in patients with renal impairment (CrCl <50 mL/minute); dosage adjustment required. IDSA guidelines recommend avoiding tenofovir in HIV patients with preexisting kidney disease (CrCl <50 mL/minute and not on hemodialysis or GFR <60 mL/minute/1.73 m2) when other effective HIV treatment options exist because data suggest risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increased (IDSA [Lucas 2014]).
Other warnings/precautions:
• Appropriate use: HIV/Hepatitis B coinfection: Treatment of HBV in patients with unrecognized/untreated HIV may lead to HIV resistance; patients should be tested for presence of HIV infection prior to initiating therapy. In patients coinfected with HIV and HBV, an appropriate antiretroviral combination should be selected due to HIV resistance potential; these patients should receive tenofovir dosed for HIV therapy.
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) disrupts vitamin D metabolism and has been associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD) in adults and children. Plasma concentrations of the TDF metabolite tenofovir (TFV) have been associated with endocrine disruption and low BMD; tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is associated with lower plasma TFV concentrations and less decline in BMD than TDF. Data suggest the impact may be greater in children who are less mature (eg, sexual maturity ratings [SMRs] 1 to 2 [previously Tanner stages]) than in those with more advanced pubertal development (SMR ≥3). The potential for BMD loss during the important period of rapid bone accrual in childhood and early adolescence is concerning and favors use of abacavir or TAF in children with SMRs 1 to 3 (children with perinatally acquired HIV are already at risk for low peak bone mass). Prior to initiation of therapy, assessment of benefits versus potential risk should be assessed; with TDF therapy, monitor plasma vitamin D concentrations; supplement with vitamin D as needed; calcium carbonate supplementation may also be considered. Monitoring of BMD may be considered in patients with additional risk factors for decreased bone density (HHS [pediatric] 2022).

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) perinatal HIV guidelines consider tenofovir disoproxil fumarate a preferred nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor for patients with HIV infection who are not yet pregnant but are trying to conceive.
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is a recommended component for preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in patients at risk for HIV infection who are planning a pregnancy. The partner without HIV should begin therapy 20 days prior to attempting conception. Up to 20 days of therapy are required to achieve protective drug concentrations in cervicovaginal tissue, therefore continued use of condoms to prevent HIV exposure is recommended during this time. PrEP should continue for 28 days after attempting conception or condomless sex exposure.
Viral suppression sustained below the limits of detection with antiretroviral therapy (ART) and modification of therapy (if needed) is recommended in all patients with HIV infection who are planning a pregnancy. Optimization of the health of the person who will become pregnant and a discussion of the potential risks and benefits of ART during pregnancy is also recommended prior to conception. In most cases, recommendations from the HHS perinatal HIV guidelines (based on data obtained from cisgender women) can be applied to transgender and gender-diverse people assigned female sex at birth.
Health care providers caring for couples planning a pregnancy when one or both partners are diagnosed with HIV infection may contact the National Perinatal HIV Hotline (1-888-448-8765) for clinical consultation (HHS [perinatal] 2021).
Tenofovir has a high level of transfer across the human placenta following maternal use of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.
No increased risk of overall teratogenic effects has been observed following first trimester exposure according to data collected by the antiretroviral pregnancy registry. Maternal antiretroviral therapy (ART) may be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm delivery, stillbirth, low birth weight, and small-for-gestational-age infants. Actual risks may be influenced by maternal factors such as disease severity, gestational age at initiation of therapy, and specific ART regimen; therefore, close fetal monitoring is recommended. Because there is clear benefit to appropriate treatment, maternal ART should not be withheld due to concerns for adverse neonatal outcomes. Long-term follow-up is recommended for all infants exposed to antiretroviral medications; children not diagnosed with HIV infection but who were exposed to ART in utero or as a neonate and develop significant organ system abnormalities of unknown etiology (particularly of the CNS or heart) should be evaluated for potential metabolic dysfunction.
The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) perinatal HIV guidelines consider tenofovir disoproxil fumarate a preferred nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) for pregnant patients with HIV infection who are antiretroviral naive, who have had ART therapy in the past but are restarting, or who require a new ART regimen (due to poor tolerance or poor virologic response of current regimen). In addition, patients who become pregnant while taking tenofovir disoproxil fumarate may continue if viral suppression is effective and the regimen is well tolerated.
The HHS perinatal HIV guidelines consider tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in combination with emtricitabine or lamivudine to be preferred dual NRTI backbone for initial therapy in antiretroviral-naive patients who are pregnant. The guidelines also consider tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or tenofovir alafenamide plus emtricitabine or lamivudine as recommended dual NRTI backbone for HIV/hepatitis B virus coinfected pregnant patients.
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is a recommended component for preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in uninfected patients at risk for HIV infection who are pregnant. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is also a preferred component of a regimen when acute HIV infection is detected during pregnancy.
Maternal exposure is modestly decreased during pregnancy; dose adjustments are not needed.
ART is recommended for all pregnant people with HIV infection to maximize their health, maintain the viral load below the limit of detection, and reduce the risk of perinatal transmission. Therapy should be individualized following a discussion of the potential risks and benefits of treatment during pregnancy. Patients on fully suppressive regimens prior to pregnancy generally may continue the same regimen considering known pregnancy outcomes and pharmacokinetic data. Monitoring of patients who are pregnant is more frequent than in patients who are not pregnant. ART initiated during pregnancy can be modified after delivery. In most cases, recommendations from the HHS perinatal HIV guidelines (based on data obtained from cisgender women) can be applied to transgender and gender-diverse people assigned female sex at birth.
The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) chronic hepatitis B treatment guidelines provide recommendations for the management of hepatitis B-infected pregnant patients (not coinfected with HIV). Patients meeting standard indications for HBV therapy should be treated; patients without standard indications but with an HBV DNA >200,000 units/mL in the second trimester should consider treatment to reduce the risk of perinatal transmission. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is the preferred antiviral for use in pregnancy, with most studies initiating antiviral therapy at 28 to 32 weeks' gestation and discontinuing antiviral therapy between birth to 3 months postpartum (monitor for ALT flares every 3 months for 6 months following discontinuation). There are insufficient long-term safety data in infants born to patients who took antiviral agents during pregnancy (AASLD [Terrault 2018]).
Data collection to monitor pregnancy and infant outcomes following exposure to ART is ongoing. Health care providers are encouraged to enroll patients exposed to antiretroviral medications as early in pregnancy as possible in the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (1-800-258-4263 or http://www.APRegistry.com).
Health care providers caring for pregnant patients with HIV infection and their infants may contact the National Perinatal HIV Hotline (1-888-448-8765) for clinical consultation (HHS [perinatal] 2021).
Tenofovir is present in breast milk following use of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.
Tenofovir was present in the breast milk of 50 women without HIV infection using tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP); tenofovir serum concentrations were below the limits of quantification in all but 3 of 49 breastfed infants. Decreases in bone mineral density were observed in some lactating patients who received tenofovir disoproxil fumarate as a component of a long-term regimen for antiretroviral therapy
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is a recommended component for PrEP in uninfected patients at risk for HIV infection who are breastfeeding.
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is a recommended component of a regimen when acute HIV infection is detected in patients who are breastfeeding. Breastfeeding should be interrupted if acute HIV infection is suspected and not continued if infection is confirmed. Milk may be expressed and stored while waiting for confirmation.
Maternal or infant antiretroviral therapy does not completely eliminate the risk of postnatal HIV transmission. In addition, multiclass-resistant virus has been detected in breastfed infants despite maternal therapy. In the United States, where formula is usually accessible, affordable, safe, and sustainable, and the risk of infant mortality due to diarrhea and respiratory infections is low, the US Department of Health and Human Services perinatal HIV guidelines do not recommend breastfeeding for patients with HIV infection when safer infant feeding options are available.
Information is available for counseling and managing patients with HIV infection who are considering breastfeeding (1-888-448-8765). In most cases, recommendations from the HHS perinatal HIV guidelines (based on data obtained from cisgender women) can be applied to transgender and gender-diverse people assigned female sex at birth (HHS [perinatal] 2021).
The American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) chronic hepatitis B treatment guidelines do not consider antiviral therapy a contraindication to breastfeeding in patients with hepatitis B infection not coinfected with HIV; antivirals are minimally excreted in breast milk and unlikely to cause significant toxicity. However, the unknown risk of low-level exposure to the infant should be discussed with mothers as well as the insufficient long-term safety data in infants born to mothers who took antiviral agents while breastfeeding (AASLD [Terrault 2018]).
Consider calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
Serum phosphorus (baseline and as clinically indicated in patients with chronic kidney disease); serum creatinine, urine glucose, urine protein (baseline and as clinically indicated during therapy); hepatic function tests; bone density (patients with a history of bone fracture or have risk factors for bone loss); weight (children).
Chronic hepatitis B: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and ALT (HBV DNA usually done every 3 months until undetectable and then every 3 to 6 months thereafter); HBeAg; anti-HBe (in patients who are HBeAg-positive to monitor for seroconversion); HBsAg; creatinine clearance (baseline); consider lactic acid levels (if clinical concern); following discontinuation, monitor for recurrent viremia, ALT flares, seroreversion, and clinical decompensation every 3 months for at least 1 year. As antivirals do not eliminate the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma, continued monitoring for this complication is recommended in at-risk patients (AASLD [Terrault 2018]).
HIV: CBC with differential, reticulocyte count, creatine kinase, CD4 count, HIV RNA plasma levels testing for HBV prior to the initiation of antiretroviral therapy.
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor, is an analog of adenosine 5'-monophosphate; it interferes with the HIV viral RNA dependent DNA polymerase resulting in inhibition of viral replication. TDF is first converted intracellularly by hydrolysis to tenofovir and subsequently phosphorylated to the active tenofovir diphosphate. Tenofovir inhibits replication of HBV by inhibiting HBV polymerase.
