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 confidential online consultation, the doctor will review your medical history and specific risk factors. A recent negative HIV test confirmation is required before the doctor can consider prescribing Truvada. The doctor assesses:

• Your HIV status (must be negative).
• Your risk of HIV acquisition.
• Any existing medical conditions or medications that might contraindicate Truvada.
• Your kidney function, typically requiring recent lab results.

The doctor remains the gatekeeper, ensuring Truvada is safe and appropriate for your health needs.

What Truvada actually does (and doesn't do)

Truvada, a combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, is a highly effective medication used as PrEP to reduce the risk of sexually acquired HIV-1 in at-risk HIV-negative adults. It works by blocking an enzyme that HIV needs to multiply, stopping the virus from establishing an infection.

Important facts about Truvada PrEP:

• HIV Prevention: When taken consistently as prescribed, Truvada PrEP significantly lowers your risk of contracting HIV.
• Not a Cure: Truvada is not a cure for HIV, nor is it a treatment for people already living with HIV.
• No STI Protection: It does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or pregnancy. Consistent condom use is still essential for preventing STIs.
• Requires HIV-Negative Status: It is crucial to be HIV-negative before starting and while taking PrEP. Regular HIV testing is part of the PrEP regimen.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Truvada can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects, especially when starting treatment, may include nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, and fatigue. These often improve over time.

More serious, but rare, side effects can include kidney problems or bone density loss. Your doctor will assess your medical history and may request lab tests to monitor for these. You should contact a healthcare professional immediately if you experience:

• Severe or persistent nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain.
• Unexplained muscle pain or weakness.
• Signs of kidney problems, such as changes in urination.
• Any new or worsening symptoms that concern you.

Never stop taking Truvada without consulting a doctor, as this could impact its effectiveness or lead to other health issues.
