"I had a needle stick injury at work. I'm really having a bad experience with this product my eyes are itching and the my vision is affected. My nose is always blocked and I'm constantly tired. My chest is tight I'm having difficulty in breathing at time's. I wish I could just stop the treatment as I'm emotionally massed up. My hay fever is so worse. It's really not going good for me. I wish there was another tablet I can take."

Truvada, AccessPak for HIV PEP Basic
AccessPak for HIV PEP Basic (emtricitabine / tenofovir) "I was prescribed PEP after a condom slipped off during vaginal intercourse. As it turns out, I did not need the treatment and the doctor wasn't supposed to prescribe it to me under those circumstances. I was told side effects were mild and nothing long-term. Developed abdominal issues 2 weeks in. Was told not to worry, that was normal and it would pass. I was on treatment for one month. It's been 8 months since it ended but the issues have only gotten worse. I'm in crippling pain most of the time. I have trouble keeping any weight on. I'm afraid to eat because I know will happen after that. It's getting to the point where I won't be able to work soon. I've had several tests done but they can't figure it out. My life is a living nightmare now. I would give anything if I could go back and not take these drugs. They made me sign a waver before which should have been a red flag I guess. Whatever you do DO NOT TAKE THESE DRUGS unless you are ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that it is 100% NECESSARY!!!"
