How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

  1. Fill out the secure online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) 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 — you pay nothing.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid 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. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse, or may dispense a locally-marketed equivalent.

Who qualifies for treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors consider Truvada for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in eligible HIV-negative patients. The doctor reviews your medical history and requires confirmation of a recent negative HIV test before considering a prescription. This ensures Truvada is appropriate and safe for your specific health situation.

The doctor assesses factors such as your risk of HIV exposure, kidney function, and any existing medical conditions or medications that might interact with Truvada.

What Truvada actually does (and doesn't do)

Truvada, a combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, works as HIV PrEP by preventing HIV from replicating in your body if you are exposed to the virus. When taken consistently as prescribed, it significantly reduces your risk of acquiring HIV.

It is crucial to understand that Truvada for PrEP only protects against HIV. It does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or pregnancy. Consistent use of condoms remains essential for preventing other STIs.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Truvada can cause side effects. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, headache, and dizziness, which often improve over time. More serious, but less common, side effects can affect kidney function or bone density.

You should stop taking Truvada and contact a doctor immediately if you experience severe side effects such as persistent abdominal pain, dark urine, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or unusual muscle pain or weakness. Regular follow-up appointments and monitoring are important while on PrEP to ensure its continued safety and effectiveness.
