Who qualifies for treatment
Our EU-licensed doctors consider Truvada exclusively for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in eligible HIV-negative patients. During the online consultation, the doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure safe and effective treatment:
- Recent negative HIV test: You must provide confirmation of a recent negative HIV test result before a prescription can be considered.
- Risk of HIV acquisition: The doctor will assess your individual risk factors for HIV acquisition.
- Kidney function: Truvada requires healthy kidney function, so your medical history will be reviewed for any kidney issues.
- Other medications: The doctor will check for potential drug interactions with any other medications you are currently taking.
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 getting HIV from sex or injection drug use. It works by preventing the HIV virus from multiplying in your body.
It's important to understand that Truvada for PrEP:
- Does not treat HIV: It is only for HIV-negative individuals to prevent infection.
- Does not cure HIV: If you are already HIV-positive, it is not a treatment for the virus.
- Does not prevent other STIs: It only protects against HIV. It does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like chlamydia, gonorrhoea, or syphilis.
- Does not prevent pregnancy: It is not a contraceptive.
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. These are often mild and improve over time. More serious, but rare, side effects can affect the kidneys or bones.
You should contact a doctor immediately if you experience:
- Severe or persistent nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain.
- Unexplained fatigue, muscle weakness, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.
- Symptoms of kidney problems, such as changes in urination.
Always follow your doctor's instructions for taking Truvada and discuss any concerns or side effects you experience. Do not stop taking Truvada without consulting a healthcare professional.
