VIRADAY combines three active antiretroviral agents acting at different stages of the HIV lifecycle. Emtricitabine and tenofovir inhibit reverse transcriptase activity, while efavirenz targets non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase. Together, they block viral replication and prevent disease progression.
