American charity AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) has claimed victory in litigation against Gilead Sciences (Nasdaq: GILD), related to the firm’s promotion of its tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) based HIV/AIDS medications.

The cases allege that California-based patients were affected by the firm’s promotion of the TDF drug formulation, knowing a safer alternate, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) product existed.

The Superior Court of California accepted only one of Gilead’s arguments in a demurrer seeking to have all the HIV/AIDS patients’ legal theories dismissed.
