“…A simple analytical method to quantitate drugs with small sample volume is highly desirable, which would be a cost-effective and socio-economically acceptable method. Several assays have been reported for the quantification of TFV, FTC, EVG and RPV as an individual assay/combinations of these drugs in plasma (Aouri et al, 2013;Delahunty, Bushman, Robbins, & Fletcher, 2009;Gomes, Vaidya, Pudage, Joshi, & Parekh, 2008;Illamola et al, 2016;Parsons & Marzinke, 2016; Abbreviations: ART, antiretroviral therapy; D5W, 5% dextrose in water; DBS, dried blood spot; EVG, elvitegravir; FTC, emtricitabine; HCT, hematocrit; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; NP, nanoparticle; PK, pharmacokinetic; RPV, rilpivirine; TDF, tenofovir disoproxil; TFV, tenofovir.
