Patent Claims: 1. A composition comprising tenofovir alafenamide hemifumarate, wherein the composition comprises less than about 5% by weight of tenofovir alafenamide monofumarate.

2. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition comprises less than about 1% by weight of tenofovir alafenamide monofumarate.

3. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition comprises less than about 0.5% by weight of tenofovir alafenamide monofumarate.

4. The composition of claim 1, wherein the ratio of fumaric acid to tenofovir alafenamide in said composition is 0.5.+-.0.1.

5. The composition of claim 1, wherein the ratio of fumaric acid to tenofovir alafenamide in said composition is 0.5.+-.0.01.

6. The composition of claim 1, having an X-ray powder diffraction pattern that comprises 2theta values of 6.9.+-.0.2.degree. and 8.6.+-.0.2.degree..

7. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the composition of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
