A member asked:

Can i take truvada (emtricitabine and tenofovir) and drink alcohol

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Alcohol will not interact with Truvada (emtricitabine and tenofovir). Just limit the alcohol so you do not get into trouble from intoxication. But the effect of the Turvada will still be present.
