HIV and AIDS were once upon a time death knells for individuals known to be at high risk of contracting the virus. This is because there were no effective medications that could control this condition, except for highly toxic antivirals back in the late 80s and early 90’s. As a result, many individuals died from painful complications and opportunistic infections that made their way into one’s body after the immune system was completely decimated by the virus. AIDS was a definite death sentence, and millions of individuals suffered and played the waiting game. As decades went by, scientists found a way to control the spread of the virus by creating a prophylactic medication that would stop the virus from replicating by reducing the copies of the same to such low numbers that the individual would not be able to transmit the virus to others. Truvada was launched in the early 2000s to resounding cheers from affected groups such as LGBTI individuals, injecting drug users and HIV positive women looking to get pregnant. Truvada is known as a pre-exposure prophylactic drug that one takes for a specific amount of time before engaging in sex, and if taken correctly, they may not be able to transmit the virus. Truvada is effective 99 percent of the time if it is taken properly, and no doses are missed. However, Truvada held a dark secret for a very long time which was not disclosed to the public, and this was the side-effect of it being highly toxic to one’s kidneys as well as having the potential to weaken bones over time and make them prone to fracturing.

Many people are reporting bone density loss and even tooth loss as a result of taking Truvada.

The major, disturbing side-effects of Truvada are:

  • Osteoporosis or decreased bone density

Truvada is a medication that has large molecules. This makes it difficult for the body to absorb it into the bloodstream. After some time, Truvada metabolites pool in the kidney’s renal tubules and in a few months to a year, phosphate levels in the body drop. Phosphate is required in the maintaining bone density. As a result, individuals taking Truvada long-term are more likely to be diagnosed with broken bones, bone fracture, osteopenia and osteoporosis. If you have been taking Truvada and are now experiencing joint, back, or hip pain, you may have already started losing bone density, and it may only be a matter of time before you are diagnosed with bone loss and osteoporosis. What’s even more concerning is the fact that young adults taking the medication are being diagnosed with bone loss that is typically seen in the elderly.

  • Kidney Damage and Failure

Due to the fact that Truvada puts strain on the kidneys on account of the metabolites pooling in the renal tubules, individuals taking this medication slowly suffer kidney failure which tends to be insidious or impossible to notice until at a much later stage when the symptoms becoming glaringly apparent. Along with kidney damage, individuals taking Truvada long-term may develop lactic acidosis which is the buildup of lactic acid in the body due to diminishing kidney function. Lactic acidosis may cause a constellation of symptoms such as nausea, fatigue and weakness, difficulty breathing and vomiting.
