Truvada & Prep

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

It will be awhile before I see my ID doctor. I was just having a thought and wanted to see if anybody knew the answer because I really do not know
If one is taking Truvada to help keep you undetectable that is great
If one is taking Truvada as prep from getting HIV, that is great also.
I also know one's HIV strain might be different than another, so there is the chance of making a new strain.
Now my question is if you are taking Truvada to stay undetectable, wouldn't it also help to prevent a… read more

Would You Recommend Prep For A Gay Male 18 Year Old? If So, Which One?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

A family friend is a sweet gay 18 year old boy, who is about to leave his conservative small town bubble and go to college. It’s been obvious that he was gay since he could walk, but has probably had limited opportunity to explore his sexuality, and college will bring opportunities. He goes to his aunt, who is my best friend, for advice, and she comes to me. We want him to find himself without regrets.

A myHIVteam Member

If he is sexually active then I would say he should take the means necessary to avoid contracting HIV… condoms, Prep.. let’s face it not everyone is honest about their status !

Descovy Or Truvada?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

Reading up on side effects of Descovy and really considering asking my Dr. to go back to Truvada. Weight gain, higher cholesterol, and cardiovascular problems are all a side effect along with kidney damage . I think I'd prefer the kidney damage I was getting with Truvada...than the 30# I've gained since on Desovy and my cholesterol numbers are really elevated. My kidney numbers have improved. Seems to me your just trading which part of your body you'd rather damage. Am I missing something… read more

Truvada Two-Step Anyone?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

So it's been some time since I've been on Truvada, however I've noticed that once I started on it many years ago, I have had a rather "shitty" time (and I mean that quite literally). Has anyone else ever had this problem, specifically with Truvada? If so, is there anything you have been able to do with it? Has a change of meds worked? It's better now that I'm on Triumeq instead, however it is basically Truvada and another medication rolled into one pill, so I'm wondering about perhaps changing… read more
