The pharmaceutical composition of claim 11, further comprising an additional therapeutic agent. 13. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 12, wherein the additional therapeutic agent is selected from the group consisting of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibiting compounds, HIV nonnucleoside inhibitors of reverse transcriptase, HIV nucleoside inhibitors of reverse transcriptase, HIV nucleotide inhibitors of reverse transcriptase, HIV integrase inhibitors, and CCR5 inhibitors. 14. The composition of claim 7, which is a solid. 15. The composition of claim 8, which is a solid. 16. The composition of claim 9, which is a solid. 17. A method for treating a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of the hemifumarate of claim 1. 18. A method for treating an HIV infection comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition of claim 11. 19. The method for treating an HIV infection of claim 17, further comprising administering to the subject one or more additional therapeutic agents selected from the group consisting of HIV protease inhibiting compounds, HIV nonnucleoside inhibitors of reverse transcriptase, HIV nucleoside inhibitors of reverse transcriptase, HIV nucleotide inhibitors of reverse transcriptase, HIV integrase inhibitors, and CCR5 inhibitors. 20. A method for treating a hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of the hemifumarate of claim 1. 21. A method for treating an HBV infection comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition of claim 11. 22. The method for treating an HIV infection of claim 17, wherein the hemifumarate is administered in multiple daily doses. 23. The method for treating an HIV infection of claim 17, wherein the hemifumarate is administered in a single daily dose. 24. The method for treating an HBV infection of claim 20, wherein the hemifumarate is administered in multiple daily doses. 25. The method for treating an HBV infection of claim 20, wherein the hemifumarate is administered in a single daily dose. 26. A method for preparing a pharmaceutical composition comprising combining the hemifumarate of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient to provide the pharmaceutical composition. 27. A method for preparing tenofovir alafenamide hemifumarate comprising admixing a) aprotic organic solvent; b) fumaric acid; c) tenofovir alafenamide; and d) one or more seeds of tenofovir alafenamide hemifumarate; and crystallizing additional tenofovir alafenamide hemifumarate. 28.
