How to Get Truvada Online in Lyon

Yes, you can get a private medical consultation for Truvada from an EU-licensed doctor, even if you are in Lyon. Hi-Doctor offers a secure online service where EU-licensed doctors review your request for Truvada as HIV PrEP. The consultation costs a flat 35 €, and if approved, you receive your electronic prescription within 24 hours, which can be presented at EU pharmacies.

How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire and pay the 35 € consultation fee.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate, your fee is refunded automatically — no risk.
3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account within 24 hours. You will receive an email notification when it's ready.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU. Pharmacists will review the prescription and may dispense the medication or a locally-marketed equivalent. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse.

Who qualifies for treatment

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Truvada exclusively for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in eligible HIV-negative patients. During your confidential online consultation, the doctor will assess your medical history and specific risk factors. Key criteria include:

• Confirmation of HIV-negative status with a recent test result.
• Absence of medical conditions that contraindicate Truvada.
• Understanding of how PrEP works and commitment to safe practices.

The doctor's clinical assessment determines if Truvada is appropriate for your health needs.

What Truvada actually does (and doesn't do)

Truvada, a combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, is an antiretroviral medication used for HIV PrEP. When taken consistently as prescribed by an EU doctor, it significantly reduces the risk of acquiring HIV. It works by blocking HIV from establishing an infection in your body. Important: Truvada for PrEP is only effective against HIV and does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or prevent pregnancy. It is not a cure for HIV nor a treatment for existing HIV infection.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Truvada can cause side effects. Common side effects can include nausea, diarrhoea, headache, and weight loss. Most side effects are mild and temporary. More serious, but rare, side effects can affect the kidneys or bones. The prescription will include a patient information leaflet detailing potential side effects. You should stop taking Truvada and seek medical advice if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent nausea or vomiting, dark urine, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or unusual muscle pain.
