Fostemsavir, sold under the brand name Rukobia, is a medication used to treat HIV/AIDS. It is used together with other medications, when usually treatments are not effective. It is taken by mouth.

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, rash, and abdominal pain. Other side effects may include liver problems, QT prolongation, and immune reconstitution syndrome. It should not be taken with strong CYP3A inducers. It works by binding to the HIV virus and preventing it from entering T cells.

Fostemsavir was approved for medical use in the United States 2020, and Europe in 2021. In the United Kingdom a month of treatment costs the NHS £2,900 as of 2021. In the United States this amount costs about 8,000 USD.
