This video is about Gay Men’s Health HIV PrEP Truvada Side Effects http://gaymenshealth.com.au/hiv-prevention/truvada-side-effects/ When PrEP is used to reduce HIV risk it’s important to note there can be some Truvada side effects. Firstly it’s vital to know that you are not HIV positive. For this reason you will need to have testing for hiv before starting PrEP to make sure you are not already HIV positive. Truvada is also associated with some changes in kidney function so renal tests need to be ordered before staring this medication. There is some evidence that there can be reduced bone density. We recommend lettin gyour doctor know if you have any bone issues, as well as getting plenty of calcium rich foods, vitamin D as well as weight bareing exercise. Some people have diarrhoea, bloating and gastric side effects when starting Truvada, this settles quite quickly in most cases.
