Available data do not indicate that tenofovir is harmful to the foetus or
Newborn. However, as with any medication, a pregnant patient or a patient planning to become pregnant should discuss the subject of therapy with her doctor - in this case, for example, with an infectious disease doctor. Before trying for a baby, it is also a good idea to have a preconception visit to a gynecologist.
Tenofovir is intended for the treatment of HIV infection and for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. Both viruses can be transmitted through sexual contact – so depending on the exact reason why your daughter is taking tenofovir, you may also want to consider whether there are any steps you need to take to protect your partner.
