Question

Can I take Viagra with ARVs?

Is it safe to take prescribed Viagra (not the stuff you buy off the internet) with ARVs?

Answer

Thank-you for your email.

To check for interactions I would need to know which ARVs you are taking. Please let me know, or go to HIV-Druginteractions.org to check this.

Generally it is safe to take Viagra with ARVs. Some ARVs may affect the concentration of Viagra that your body absorbs. If you are taking a combination which includes ritonavir levels of Viagra may be higher. Alternatively if you are taking efavirenz levels of Viagra may be lower than normal.

For this reason it’s important to discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist to get the most accurate information according to your ARV treatment.

    Hi Jenna, yes it is safe to take Sildenafil while on Vulanate. There is no interaction between these medications.

    Hi Josan, as mentioned in the main question I would need to know the name of the ARVs you are taking. Sindenafil citrate and Viagra are the same drug.

    I just want to know if taking any sexual enhancement drugs while on HIV or ART drugs will have any effect on the functionality of the ART drugs.

    Thank you.

    Hi Bill,

    There’s a slight chance that there could be an interaction between your meds and viagra as noted here:

    You may wish to speak to your doctor about this.
