Truvada Allergic Reaction

[iosam]

So I've been on PrEP for two months, had a pretty serious rash that got worse over the course of a week. My doctor (and a consult and potentially a followup with an infectious disease specialist) believes that it's an allergic reaction to Truvada. Have any of you heard of anything like this?

I'm neg now and been having fun playing without being worried about getting pozzed. Now I have to be more selective with who I play if I'm allergic to it

In my HIV Outreach work, I ran into a guy who also had a pretty serious skin allergic reaction. Stopped Truvada for a couple months and then restarted but it still came back

Dang, is there any test they can do to determine if that's what the problem actually is? I really wish there was some way I could stay on it.

They determined his, by taking him off it for a period of time.
