A patient taking rilpivirine needs treatment for reflux. Which is contraindicated?

Correct. Proton pump inhibitors raise gastric pH and markedly lower rilpivirine absorption; they are contraindicated. H2-antagonists can be used if separated (at least 12 hours before or 4 hours after rilpivirine), and antacids 2 hours before or 4 hours after.
