What happens if I stop taking Truvada?

[AquamanFlorida]

I was diagnosed with chronic HBV back in Dec 2014.  I was given Truvada (Prep) for treatment.  I have taken it daily for 4.5 years and my viral load down has remained dormant and the HBV undetectable.  Recently, I moved to a new city and my new job does not offer insurance.  I cannot afford the medication without insurance as it is very expensive.  Is there a chance my body could have rid itself of HBV during these 4.5 years?

I think I saw a commercial for it and it said side affects can happen if you have hep b

There is a chance, 1% of people naturally clear HBSAG every year. Not sure why you were given Truvada, that is a combo drug for HIV. You should have only been given Tenofovir. If you want to buy drugs for cheap, buy them from India, you can even get Vemlidy for really cheap out there. Post your entire history here, maybe you could be a candidate for stopping treatment, for example if you were HEBAG+ before and then became HBEAG- and undetectable on treatment.
