How to Get Truvada Online in Malta

Yes, you can get a private medical consultation for Truvada for HIV PrEP from an EU-licensed doctor online in Malta. This service allows you to access a doctor's assessment and, if appropriate, receive a prescription following a thorough review. The consultation costs a flat 35 €, and if approved, you'll have your prescription in under 24 hours. You can then present it at any EU pharmacy to collect your medication, though pharmacists retain the right to refuse or dispense a locally-marketed equivalent.

How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

1. Fill out our secure online medical questionnaire. This takes 2–3 minutes and allows our doctors to understand your medical history and current needs. Then, you pay the 35 € consultation fee.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. They carefully assess your information to determine if Truvada is appropriate for you as HIV PrEP. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate, your fee is refunded automatically — there's no risk to you.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) directly in your secure Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours. This is Spain's official digital-private-prescription standard.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your medication. While designed for EU-wide recognition under Directive 2011/24/EU, pharmacists retain the right to refuse, and may dispense a locally-marketed equivalent.

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.
