It’s time again for our semi-regular roundup of PrEP- related news, and the theme seems to be that people don’t actually want to take PrEP all that much.
I can't imagine the "initial" side effects of taking a large bolus dose of these drugs. If you look up the side effects, it's the usual emphasis on a few early side effects that go away after a while. Nausea, headache, that type of thing. Imagine what that must be like with an egregiously large blast of one of these drugs. I was parsing through comments on various PrEP videos on youtube and some interesting things pop up, here are just a few:
"I'm a straight woman and I take it. The side effects suck at first but I'm sure the side effects of HIV/Aids is way worse. "....
"I had AWFUL side effects from this medication - the worst was stomach cramps, nausea and feeling so sick to my stomach I could throw up at any moment. The other side effect was fatigue and depression - it was significant. Not good."...
"The worst side effects from Truvada is fatigue."...
"My skin broke out in a rash and then some pigmentation"...
"I had to stop prep as my body could not tolerate it , my liver has been severely damaged by this medication. I think that the general public is not well informed about the real risks that Prep can have on your health."...
"I took Truvada and Isentress as part of PEP due to an injury at work. The side effects sucked! The worst was having nausea all the time (I lost some weight), and then my liver enzymes becoming elevated. Towards the end of the treatment, it was difficulty to be compliant, "...
"It would have been a lot more helpful if he had told us how bad the side effects were for him like the nausea and stomach upset. And also it would be great to know how long before the worst fo it was over so we know how long we have to puit up with the side effects before they subside."...
"I got off PEP . "Post exposure" 11 days ago. I was sick for the the first 4 days off of the medication in which that made me extremely nervous. I then got checked. I was HIV negative . That weekend. I felt normal again . The following week . I started to catch a fever and body aches again. I am currently running a fever and developed a cough."...
"For those who are experiencing liver and kidney damage from using truvada, seek additional medical consultation."...
"Are there any side effects tho? Because the scary thing is the fact that you have to take a pill like forever, something similar to birth control, which we all know has a variety of side effects."...
"I just started prep I’ve never been so nauseous and all of my life…"
"Liver damage! Bone density lost! Hmmmm"...
"I had nausea, headache, queasy, clammy, cold symptoms, tired."...
The whole idea of dosing a drug for an allegedly replicable agent at such long intervals makes no sense to me, but maybe I’m missing something. Regardless, the toxicities would be massive. (Like, Tylenol occasionally is fine, but take 15 at once and you’re dead of liver failure.)
There must be a large enough of subset of people that feel they are being helped by these "medications" that allows the standard HIV-AIDS narrative to continue. Right? Otherwise, wouldn't it have collapsed by now? I don't know.

The AIDS to PrEP to trans pipeline (whichever way it goes) is an agenda.

Subscribed. Thank you for writing about this. It’s really important.
You have that right! It’s all connected.

Maybe they believe it would be "worse" if they didnt take the meds. Where have we heard that before?
