For HIV Infection "I had to take this medication because my wife tested positive. From the day I started this drug, I had a headache. This went on for a month until I had what appeared to be a stroke, but all the stroke tests were negative. Once I stopped taking this, the headaches and the problem went away. I would use extreme caution before ever taking this drug."

For Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis "Several years ago, I was prescribed Truvada for PrEP by my physician. On the second or third day after I began the medication, I had a pounding headache that was almost constant, as well as mild nausea; I don’t recall ever vomiting during that period. I could not maintain focus for work, so I stopped by day 5. I waited a month and tried again. The exact same thing happened, so I stopped taking the medication again. When I spoke with my doctor, he said that it was a fairly common side effect that normally goes away. I waited a couple more months and then wondered if my system might tolerate this medication better if I ramped up to the full dose. So I divided 10 pills in half and for the 6 days, I took 1/2 a pill each day. I tolerated that well, with no side effects. I then took 1/2 a pill at 12-hour intervals for the next week, also without any apparent side effects. I was then able to start taking the full dose once a day without experiencing any headache or nausea whatsoever."
