I just started a 30-day supply of Truvada as an HIV post-exposure prophylactic. My question is could Truvada, an antiretroviral med, also fight regular viral infections such as influenza or would you have to take an additional antiviral med? I'm not asking if it would be the preferred treatment method for a viral infection, I'm just asking if you think it would fight viral infections. Thanks.

 Hello,
I would expect it to help because the action is to boost your own immune system to help in fighting the virus. It is not specific to the virus as some antibiotics are to certain bacteria.
Best wishes
