Who qualifies for treatment
Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Truvada exclusively as HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for eligible HIV-negative patients. During your online consultation, the doctor will assess your medical history, current health status, and risk factors for HIV. Key considerations include:
- Confirmation of a recent negative HIV test before starting PrEP.
- Assessment of kidney function.
- Review of any existing medical conditions or medications that might interact with Truvada.
- Your personal risk of HIV acquisition through sexual activity.
The doctor's clinical assessment determines if Truvada PrEP is appropriate and safe for you.
What Truvada actually does (and doesn't do)
Truvada, a combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, works as a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) by stopping HIV from replicating and spreading in your body if you are exposed to the virus. When taken consistently as prescribed, it significantly reduces the risk of acquiring HIV. It's important to understand:
- Truvada PrEP is for HIV prevention in HIV-negative individuals. It is NOT a treatment for HIV.
- It does NOT protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like syphilis, gonorrhoea, or chlamydia.
- It does NOT prevent pregnancy.
For maximum effectiveness, Truvada PrEP must be taken as directed by your doctor. Consistent use is crucial for its protective benefits.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Truvada can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects can include nausea, diarrhoea, headache, and fatigue, especially when first starting treatment. These often improve over time. More serious, but less common, side effects can affect the kidneys or bones. Your doctor will discuss these risks during your consultation.
You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience:
- Severe or persistent abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting.
- Unusual muscle pain.
- Signs of kidney problems (e.g., changes in urination).
- Any symptoms that concern you or significantly impact your quality of life.
Never stop taking Truvada PrEP without consulting your doctor, as this could reduce its effectiveness and increase your risk of HIV acquisition.
