Who qualifies for treatment

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors consider Truvada only as HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for eligible HIV-negative patients. During your online consultation, the doctor will assess several factors.

• Your recent negative HIV test confirmation is required.
• Your medical history and current health status are reviewed.
• Any other medications you are taking are considered.
• Lifestyle factors relevant to PrEP eligibility are assessed.

The doctor's clinical assessment determines if Truvada PrEP is appropriate and safe for your specific situation.

What Truvada actually does (and doesn't do)

Truvada, a combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, works by blocking an enzyme that HIV needs to replicate in your body. When taken consistently as prescribed, it significantly reduces the risk of acquiring HIV through sexual contact. It is a highly effective tool for HIV prevention.

However, it's crucial to understand what Truvada PrEP does not do:

• It does not treat HIV infection; it only helps prevent it in HIV-negative individuals.
• It does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like gonorrhoea, chlamydia, or syphilis.
• It does not prevent pregnancy.

Using condoms remains important for preventing other STIs and unwanted pregnancies.

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 rare, side effects can affect the kidneys or bones.

You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe side effects, signs of an allergic reaction, or symptoms that concern you. Never stop taking Truvada PrEP without consulting a healthcare professional, as this can reduce its effectiveness.
