For Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis of HIV "I have been taking Truvada for about 9 months now. No major side effects. Slight headache in the beginning and an ongoing low appetite. My lab results have been good thus far. I'm concerned over the fact that when I mention Truvada use to friends, they immediately say, 'We don't take that one anymore.' I have raised the issue with the doc, and the response is that Truvada is a lot safer now than in the beginning. Anyone have more insight into this? Have remained HIV-."

For Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis of HIV "The first day I took Truvada, I had low appetite and a little grogginess, however, the side effects were gone by the next day. I'm still not experiencing side effects. I'm glad that science has come a long way to protect us from HIV - I am taking it for PrEP."

For Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis of HIV "I have taken TRUVADA for 1 year now as PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis). My lab results have always come back normal and HIV negative. I sometimes visit bathhouses, which are very risky places, and I have always remained HIV negative. The only side effects I had were some diarrhea the first week and about 40 pounds in weight loss, maybe due to appetite loss. Other than that, PrEP has been effective and an amazing drug in my opinion."
