Discussions tagged “Truvada”

I've been on Truvada for about a year now, taking it as PrEP to protect against HIV. Overall, it's been a positive experience, but there have been some side effects and challenges along the way. Initially, I had some mild stomach issues and occasional headaches, but those subsided after a few months. I've also had to deal with some strange dreams and trouble sleeping, but it's all manageable. I've read about more severe side effects, like kidney and liver problems, which is a bit scary. I try to stay on top of my health with regular check-ins with my doctor and frequent blood tests. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced similar issues or has tips on managing side effects. Anything related to the cost and availability would also be helpful because my insurance isn't covering everything.
