Which combination is used in NRTI for treating HIV?

  1. TDF/emtricitabine

  2. TDF/lamivudine

  3. Both A and B

  4. Abacavir/lamivudine

The correct answer is: Both A and B

Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are a class of antiretroviral medications used in the treatment of HIV. The combination of TDF (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) and emtricitabine, as well as TDF and lamivudine, are commonly used NRTI combinations as part of HIV treatment regimens. Therefore, the correct answer is C, as both choices A and B are used in NRTI therapy for treating HIV. Abacavir/lamivudine is a combination of medications from a different class of antiretrovirals known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and is not the typical NRTI combination used for HIV treatment, making option D incorrect.
