Who qualifies for treatment

Our EU-licensed doctors consider Truvada for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in eligible HIV-negative patients. During your confidential online consultation, the doctor will look for several key criteria:

  • Recent HIV-negative test result: You must provide confirmation of a recent negative HIV test. This is essential before any PrEP prescription can be considered.
  • Risk factors for HIV acquisition: The doctor assesses your individual risk factors for HIV.
  • Overall health: Your medical history, including kidney function and any other existing health conditions or medications, is reviewed to ensure Truvada is safe and appropriate for you.
  • No contraindications: The doctor ensures you have no medical conditions that would make Truvada unsafe.

The doctor's clinical assessment is paramount to your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What Truvada actually does (and doesn't do)

Truvada, a combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, is highly effective as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to reduce the risk of sexually acquired HIV-1 in at-risk HIV-negative individuals. When taken consistently as prescribed, it can significantly lower your chances of contracting HIV.

It's crucial to understand what Truvada does NOT do:

  • It does not treat HIV: Truvada is for prevention in HIV-negative individuals, not a treatment or cure for existing HIV infection.
  • It does not protect against other STIs: Truvada only protects against HIV. It does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhoea, chlamydia, or syphilis.
  • It does not prevent pregnancy: Truvada is not a contraceptive.

For maximum effectiveness, Truvada PrEP must be taken as prescribed and combined with safer sex practices, including condom use for protection against other STIs.

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, fatigue, and headache, especially when first starting treatment. These often improve over time.

It's important to be aware of potential red flags. You should contact a healthcare professional if you experience:

  • Persistent or worsening side effects.
  • Signs of kidney problems (e.g., changes in urination).
  • Signs of lactic acidosis (e.g., unusual muscle pain, trouble breathing, stomach pain).
  • Any new or concerning symptoms.

Never stop taking Truvada without consulting a doctor, as this could impact its effectiveness or lead to other health issues. Your Hi-Doctor physician will provide guidance on when and how to seek further medical advice.
