Tenofovir? YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING! A significant percentage of people on tenofovir, Viread, including me, get Permanent kidney damage from this drug. You can Google it, tenofovir causes renal insufficiency, or moderate renal insufficiency. And medical insurance may pay for this drug that causes permanent kidney damage? I think this will be tied up in the courts for many years.

You are not correct when you say that it causes permanent kidney damage in a significant amount of patients. The drug has been FDA approved for over 10 years. Tens of millions people all over this world are taking it and have NEVER experienced any problems with their kidneys or any other organ for that matter. Millions of HIV+ people are strong, fit, and living healthy lives because of drugs like tenofovir or Truvada.
