Who qualifies for treatment

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Truvada exclusively as HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for eligible HIV-negative patients. To qualify, you must:

  • Be HIV-negative, confirmed by a recent HIV test.
  • Be an adult patient residing in the EU.
  • Have no contraindications to Truvada, which the doctor will assess based on your medical questionnaire.

The doctor will review your medical history, current medications, and lifestyle factors to ensure Truvada PrEP is safe and appropriate for your health needs.

What Truvada actually does (and doesn't do)

Truvada (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) is a medication used for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). When taken consistently, it significantly reduces the risk of acquiring HIV. It works by interfering with the HIV life cycle, preventing the virus from establishing an infection in your body.

Important:

  • Truvada PrEP is for HIV prevention only; it is not a treatment or cure for HIV.
  • It does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or pregnancy.
  • For maximum effectiveness, Truvada must be taken as prescribed and combined with safer sex practices.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Truvada can cause side effects. Common side effects can include nausea, diarrhea, headache, and dizziness, which often improve within a few weeks of starting treatment. More serious, though rare, side effects can affect the kidneys or bones.

You should contact a doctor immediately if you experience:

  • Severe or persistent abdominal pain.
  • Unusual tiredness or weakness.
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice).
  • Dark urine.
  • New or worsening bone pain.

Always discuss any concerns or side effects with a healthcare professional. Do not stop taking Truvada without consulting a doctor, as this could impact its effectiveness or lead to HIV resistance if you unknowingly have the virus.
