How PrEP (Truvada / Descovy) for HIV Works 

Why were you on it for 2 months? I am only prescribed 1 month

​@@shemamohebi4510hi which medication were you given if I may ask and did you finish your dose

​@@shemamohebi4510hi are you on pep for 28 days?

What do you mean 92%?

Well that what i am reading in many places online watching docs talk about it- I don't hear the 99% much anymore- I remember when it first came out it was 99%@@shemamohebi4510

That's not good!!

With a rubber

​@BBWahoo isn't a rubber 99% by itself without descovy tho?

@@_.Leo_. Let's find out ;)

Hi have you got the answer to your question?

no, biktarvy is only used for HIV treatment. tuvada, descovy, and apretude are approved medications to use as HIV PrEP.

post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) will want to be prescribed by your healthcare provider. you can learn more about PEP in this physician Q&A about HIV & Sexual Health: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-22hgkHAkevc.html

99 percent when used with a condom. 92 percent without a condom.

​@@uisblackcat I'd 92% you 🥵

I did. But my partner was toxic and not on meds and over time I became infected with his same strain that was resistant to Truvada.

@@119jle There is certainly - sadly - extenuating, and rather irresponsible circumstances concerning you partner not caring for his own health - more importantly, the prospective health of his partner .. i.e. yourself. However, in your case it was multiple events.... over time. I am not sure a single or even say, 5 occasions would lead to a breakthrough. I suggest you know more about this topic than I..... Thanks for responding. 👍

Did you take it daily as prescribed?
