Disclosed herein are antibodies capable of specifically binding to tenofovir (TFV), a key small molecule drug for both the treatment and prevention of HIV, and a competitive lateral flow assay that uses these antibodies to monitor urine samples for the presence of the drug. The assay can be deployed as a point-of-care device for adherence monitoring.
