Guest Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 I’m reading that the Descovy trials have been very positive and it works as good as Truvada. It has also been shown to be less toxic on your kidneys and bone density. Gilead is suppose to seek FDA approval to use as Prep by the end of the year. Not sure if that is really true or speculation. I also heard some doctors are already providing it’s use as “off label” for Prep Has anyone else heard that?? Quote
Pozlover1 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 Yes that’s the word on here. I’d love to blame the FDA but it would be reasonable for Gilead to want to use up existing stocks of Travuda. Maybe both will be produced for a while, while various governments play catch up, and then Travuda will be phased out. Quote
Guest Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 Yes, check out a prior post I wrote. I'm in the study. Dr said it might be closed early by this summer. I have no idea about using it off label, but they really should try it for guys that couldn't use Truvada due to side effects. It's effectively proven, but not FDA approved, but supposed to happen pretty soon. Now I'm gonna need to decide what to do for my next phase of barebacking once this is over Quote
