Who qualifies for treatment
Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Truvada exclusively for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in eligible HIV-negative patients. During the online consultation, the doctor will carefully review your medical history and current health status. Key factors include:
- A recent negative HIV test confirmation is mandatory before a doctor can consider prescribing Truvada for PrEP.
- Your kidney function.
- Any other medications you are currently taking.
- Your overall health profile to ensure Truvada is safe and appropriate for you.
The doctor's clinical assessment is paramount to ensure patient safety and treatment efficacy.
What Truvada actually does (and doesn't do)
Truvada, when used as PrEP, is a medication that can significantly reduce the risk of getting HIV from sex. It contains two active ingredients, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, which work by blocking an enzyme HIV needs to replicate in your body. When taken consistently as prescribed, it can be highly effective.
It's crucial to understand that Truvada for PrEP:
- Does not cure HIV. It is a preventative measure for HIV-negative individuals.
- Does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Condoms remain essential for protection against other STIs.
- Does not prevent pregnancy.
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 over time. More serious, but less common, side effects can affect the kidneys or bones.
You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe side effects or any new, concerning symptoms while taking Truvada. It is also important to inform your doctor if you suspect you may have been exposed to HIV, as this changes your treatment needs.
