Taking Truvada

[tcmuk]

I have been taking Truvada since 2008, 5 months ago I did the pregnancy test, the result was positive.

I am worry about side effects to my baby if I continue to take Truvada during my pregnant...

Does anyone have same experience, please tell me more, thx.

Truvada is classified by the FDA as a pregnancy category B drug which means it is safe during pregnancy. During my pregnancy I used Tenofovir which is also cat B and my baby is healthy thanks god. I never stopped taking it. I don't know much about Truvada but as long as it is category B, I believe it is fine. Confirm with your dr. Goood luck.
