Hi. I have been on Truvada for a week now. I tested HIV negative through a blood test at my doctors office 3 weeks prior to getting my Truvada prescription. I am pretty confident that I didn't get exposed to HIV recently, prior to starting Truvada, but just wanted to take the HIV home test today just to be sure. However, the OraQuick test states something like, if you are on preventive treatment for HIV this test is NOT for you. Glad I saw that before paying $ 45 for it. Does anyone know why people on PrEP should not do this test? Does PrEP possibly cause a false result with oral swab hiv tests? Thanks

I definitely plan on sticking to the daily dosage. Sex sometimes happens spontaneously so I find this "before and after" rather complicated and feel it will put people at a lot more risk of converting positive while being on PrEP. I was just wondering if this new study means that one does not have to wait 7 - 20 days when first taking truvada until its "ok" to engage in bb sex. I took my first pill on Friday and I guess I might go by the 7 day rule and possibly have sex on Saturday if it happens. I am usually a light weight with medications and experience every side effect on the books. The only side effect I have on truvada is trouble sleeping. But that will probably get better. I should maybe just take it in the morning instead of right before going to bed.

Interesting article. However, if that is true. How come for people who take the pill daily its suppose to take at least 7 days to be fully protected? Some articles even 20 days. I finally got my first prescription and took my second pill last night.
