Descovy VS Truvada

Pre-PrEP checklist: How can I get PrEP at PULSE Clinic?


  1. Do you already have the prescription?
    • If you already have a prescription for PrEP, you can show us your prescription and buy the medication.
  2. If not, do you have health check-up results from the last 3 months?
    • If you already have one, you can get a 12-month supply at PULSE.
    • If you do not have recent health check-up results, you can get tested at PULSE and receive a 12-month supply of PrEP.
    • You can also get fewer than 12 bottles and have the rest delivered to your door.

 

Descovy - emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (FTC/TAF)


After years of worrying about kidney problems and bone health issues, now we have the new PrEP that is safer for both kidneys and bone health. 

Descovy is the new PrEP medicaitons, that contains emtricitabine plus tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) instead of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF).  F/TAF is able to deliver higher concentrations of tenofovir into cells, reaches protective levels more quickly, and maintains protective levels of drug in cells longer than F/TDF. For these reasons, it is possible that F/TAF may be more effective than F/TDF for people who miss doses. In the DISCOVER study, F/TAF was found to be "non-inferior" to F/TDF for PrEP. There were more HIV infections among people taking F/TDF (11 infections) than among people taking F/TAF (6 infections). However, this difference was not statistically significant. Although there is some debate about whether F/TAF truly is “more effective” than F/TDF for PrEP, it is possible that F/TAF will provide better protection for people who miss PrEP doses and struggle with taking pills

What is better about combining with TAF is that it does not cause the same level of kidney problems or lower bone density that TDF does. Both Descovy and Truvada are recommended as first-line therapies in the HHS HIV treatment guidelines. Both are approved and recommended for hepatitis B. Descovy has not been approved for PrEP, however. It is important not to combine with other antivirals not prescribed by a doctor. Many new STRs already contain TAF. Drug interactions may occur, so tell your doctor about all the medications your take, including those sold over the counter.

If you are looking for the generic new PrEP, contact Pulse Clinic: info.silom@pulse-clinic.com.
Seven years after Truvada (F/TDF) was approved for HIV prevention as PrEP, we now have another PrEP medication option. On October 3, 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the Descovy for people who are HIV-negative and at-risk for sexually acquired HIV through anal sex.
