<meta name="description" content="Tenofovir is available in the U.S. in two forms, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and tenofovir alafenamide. Both release tenofovir, but tenofovir disoproxil fumarate releases tenofovir in the bloodstream whereas tenofovir alafenamide enters cells before releasing tenofovir. Most published experience is with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in HIV therapy and prophylaxis. Exposure of the breastfed infant to tenofovir is trivial in HIV-positive mothers and in HIV-negative mothers treated for HIV prophylaxis or hepatitis B infection.[1,2] Some data indicate that tenofovir milk levels decrease with time after delivery. Among HIV-positive mothers who have breastfed during tenofovir disoproxil fumarate therapy no infant adverse effects have occurred up to 2 years of age. Tenofovir alfenamide use results in even lower milk levels and infant dosages than tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Achieving and maintaining viral suppression with antiretroviral therapy decreases breastfeeding transmission risk to less than 1%, but not zero. Individuals with HIV who are on antiretroviral therapy with a sustained undetectable viral load and who choose to breastfeed should be supported in this decision. If a viral load is not suppressed, banked pasteurized donor milk or formula is recommended.[3,4]">

id="LM658.Summary_of_Use_during_Lactation"><h3>Summary of Use during Lactation</h3><p>Tenofovir is available in the U.S. in two forms, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and tenofovir alafenamide. Both release tenofovir, but tenofovir disoproxil fumarate releases tenofovir in the bloodstream whereas tenofovir alafenamide enters cells before releasing tenofovir. Most published experience is with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in HIV therapy and prophylaxis. Exposure of the breastfed infant to tenofovir is trivial in HIV-positive mothers and in HIV-negative mothers treated for HIV prophylaxis or hepatitis B infection.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM658.REF.1" rid="LM658.REF.1">1</a>,<a class="bibr" href="#LM658.REF.2" rid="LM658.REF.2">2</a>] Some data indicate that tenofovir milk levels decrease with time after delivery. Among HIV-positive mothers who have breastfed during tenofovir disoproxil fumarate therapy no infant adverse effects have occurred up to 2 years of age. Tenofovir alfenamide use results in even lower milk levels and infant dosages than tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. Achieving and maintaining viral suppression with antiretroviral therapy decreases breastfeeding transmission risk to less than 1%, but not zero. Individuals with HIV who are on antiretroviral therapy with a sustained undetectable viral load and who choose to breastfeed should be supported in this decision. If a viral load is not suppressed, banked pasteurized donor milk or formula is recommended.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM658.REF.3" rid="LM658.REF.3">3</a>,<a class="bibr" href="#LM658.REF.4" rid="LM658.REF.4">4</a>]</p><p>Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) regimens containing tenofovir are acceptable for use in HIV-negative nursing mothers.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM658.REF.5" rid="LM658.REF.5">5</a>] Maternal use of prophylactic vaginal tenofovir (investigational in the U.S.) also does not appear to present a risk to the breastfed infant.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM658.REF.6" rid="LM658.REF.6">6</a>] In hepatitis B, expert reviews of available data and most professional guidelines state that there is no justification for contraindicating the use of tenofovir during breastfeeding.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM658.REF.2" rid="LM658.REF.2">2</a>,<a class="bibr" href="#LM658.REF.7" rid="LM658.REF.7">7</a>-<a class="bibr" href="#LM658.REF.11" rid="LM658.REF.11">11</a>] No differences exist in infection rates between breastfed and formula-fed infants born to hepatitis B-infected women, as long as the infant receives hepatitis B immune globulin and hepatitis B vaccine at birth.</p></div><div id="LM658.Drug_Levels"><h3>Drug Levels</h3><p>Tenofovir has poor bioavailability and is available commercially as the more bioavailable tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and tenofovir alfenamide. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate releases tenofovir in the bloodstream whereas tenofovir alafenamide enters cells before releasing tenofovir. Both are metabolized intracellularly to the active metabolite tenofovir diphosphate. The bioavailability of tenofovir and tenofovir diphosphate from breastmilk are not known, but presumed to be extremely low. Tenofovir (not in a salt form) is also being investigated as a gel for vaginal use in prophylaxis.</p><p><i>Maternal Levels.</i>
<i>Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.</i> Five exclusively breastfeeding mothers received oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg plus emtricitabine 200 mg and nevirapine 200 mg at the start of labor, then oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg daily and emtricitabine 200 mg for 7 days postpartum. A total of 16 concurrent maternal blood and milk samples were collected on days 1, 2, 3, and 7 postpartum between 10 minutes and 21 hours after the mothers&#x02019; doses. Median peak and trough tenofovir concentrations in breastmilk were 14.1 mcg/L and 6.8 mcg/L, respectively. The authors estimated that an exclusively breastfed infant would receive about 0.03% of the proposed infant dose for tenofovir and achieve trivial infant serum concentrations that would likely have no adverse consequences.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM658.REF.12" rid="LM658.REF.12">12</a>]</p><p>In a multicenter study in Malawi and Brazil, mothers were given a single dose of either 600 mg or 900 mg of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate during labor. Breastmilk samples were collected from mothers at various times postpartum. Tenofovir was detected (&#x0003e;2.5 mcg/L) in three-fourths of samples collected from 25 mothers during the first 2 days postpartum. Levels ranged from 6.3 to 17.8 mcg/L. At 4 to 6 days postpartum, only one milk sample of 21 had a detectable tenofovir level of 15.7 mcg/L.[<a class="bibr" href="#LM658.REF.13" rid="LM658.REF.13">13</a>]</p><p>Women in Malawi received the option B+ regimen for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV consisting of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, lamivudine and efavirenz between 6 and 8 pm daily.

On days 7 and 10 of therapy, peak milk samples were obtained 1 to 2 hours after a dose and trough samples were obtained 23 to 24 hours after the previous dose. The median peak milk tenofovir concentration was 3.2 mcg/L and the trough concentration was 3.3 mcg/L.
