The drug, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), is a prodrug of the well-known antiretroviral HIV treatment Viread (tenofovir), which is also a Gilead product. China/Indian generic pharmas will be able to market TAF in 112 developing countries – countries that are home to more than 90% of the world’s HIV patients.
