What Truvada actually does (and doesn't do)

Truvada, when used as PrEP, helps prevent HIV infection in HIV-negative individuals at high risk. It contains two medicines, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and emtricitabine, that work by blocking an enzyme HIV needs to multiply. It is crucial to remember that Truvada PrEP is not a cure for HIV, nor does it protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or pregnancy. It must be taken consistently as prescribed to be effective, alongside safer sex practices.

Side effects and when to stop

Common side effects of Truvada can include nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, and dizziness. These often improve over the first few weeks of treatment. More serious, but rare, side effects can affect the kidneys or bones. You should stop taking Truvada and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, dark urine, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or unusual muscle pain or weakness. Regular follow-up and monitoring are essential when on PrEP.
