How to Get Truvada Online in Netherlands

Yes, you can get a private medical consultation for Truvada from an EU-licensed doctor online, right here in the Netherlands. Hi-Doctor provides a secure, convenient way to assess your eligibility for Truvada as HIV PrEP. For a one-off fee of 35 €, an EU-licensed doctor reviews your case, and if appropriate, issues a prescription in under 24 hours, valid for collection at EU pharmacies.

How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the 35 € consultation fee securely.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your fee is refunded automatically — no risk.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at a pharmacy in the EU to collect the medication.

Who qualifies for treatment

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Truvada only for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in HIV-negative patients. The doctor reviews your medical history through the online questionnaire, looking for specific criteria:

• Confirmation of a recent negative HIV test result.
• No known allergies to the active ingredients (emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil).
• No pre-existing kidney conditions or bone density issues that would contraindicate Truvada use.
• No current use of medications that interact negatively with Truvada.

The doctor's assessment helps determine if Truvada is a safe and appropriate option for your health needs.

What Truvada actually does (and doesn't do)

Truvada is a medication used for HIV PrEP, meaning it helps prevent HIV infection in people who are HIV-negative but at high risk of exposure. It contains two active substances, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil, which work by blocking key enzymes the HIV virus needs to replicate if it enters the body.

Important: Truvada for PrEP is not a treatment for HIV, nor does it cure HIV. It does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or prevent pregnancy. Consistent and correct use is crucial for its effectiveness, alongside other prevention methods.

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 dizziness, which often improve within the first few weeks of starting treatment. More serious, but rare, side effects can affect the kidneys or bones.

You should contact a doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent nausea or vomiting, unusual tiredness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or bone pain. Always follow your doctor's instructions and attend recommended follow-up appointments for monitoring.
