What Is Truvada?
Truvada is an antiretroviral medication prescribed to treat and prevent HIV. According to its website, it is a combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.
While it has been effective in managing the virus, studies have linked TDF-based drugs like Truvada to severe side effects, including chronic kidney disease, kidney failure, decreased bone mineral density, and more. It was developed by the biopharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences, which is now facing allegations of negligence for failing to adequately warn patients and healthcare providers of these risks.
