Yes, you can get a private medical consultation for Truvada as HIV PrEP from an EU-licensed doctor online, even if you are in Cork. Hi-Doctor offers a secure, convenient way to have your case reviewed by a qualified medical professional. If deemed appropriate, you receive an electronic prescription in under 24 hours.

- Doctor reviews your case: An EU-licensed doctor individually reviews your submitted information in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically – you pay nothing. There is no risk.
- Receive your prescription: If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (a downloadable PDF file) directly in your secure Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours of your case review.
- Collect your medication: Print the PDF or show it on your phone – present it to a pharmacist to collect your medication.

Who qualifies for treatment
Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Truvada exclusively for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in eligible HIV-negative patients. To qualify, doctors look for a recent, confirmed negative HIV test. The doctor will assess your medical history, current health status, and other medications to ensure Truvada PrEP is safe and appropriate for you. This includes reviewing kidney function and other relevant health markers. The doctor remains the gatekeeper, ensuring treatment is medically sound for each individual.
What Truvada actually does (and doesn't do)
Truvada, when used as PrEP, significantly reduces the risk of acquiring HIV for HIV-negative individuals. It works by blocking an enzyme that HIV needs to multiply if it enters the body. For PrEP to be effective, it must be taken consistently as prescribed. It is crucial to understand that Truvada PrEP is not a treatment for existing HIV, nor does it cure HIV. It does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or pregnancy. Regular STI testing and safe sex practices remain essential.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Truvada can cause side effects, though many people experience none or only mild ones. Common side effects can include nausea, stomach pain, dizziness, or headache, especially when starting the medication. These often improve over time. More serious, but rare, side effects can affect the kidneys or bones. Your doctor will discuss these potential risks during your consultation. You should contact a healthcare professional immediately if you experience severe side effects or have concerns. Never stop taking Truvada without consulting a doctor, as this could impact its effectiveness.
