Question
Can you take Telatri when pregnant?
5 February 2021. Related: All topics, Pregnancy.
I’m taking an ARV called Telatri. Will this have any impact on my ability to get pregnant? Is it OK to take if I do fall pregnant?
Answer
Thanks for getting in touch.
Telatri is a modern combination of three generic HIV drugs in a single pill. It contains dolutegravir, tenofovir (TD) and lamivudine (3TC).
ARVs will not affect your fertility. If you become pregnant it’s OK to take Telatri, as they will help protect your baby against HIV.

Hi Musa, congratulations on your pregnancy.
No you do not drink both. They are the same medication. They have different names because they have been made by different manufacturers but they still contain the same drugs.
Taking them both together would be a double dose of TLD.
This combination (Luvigen/Telatri) is safe to take during pregnancy.

I am HIV positive and I’ve been on Luvigen , currently found out I’m pregnant and I was given Telatri ,do I drink both medications or I now drink Telatri only?
Hi Sindi, yes you can take Telatri while pregnant. It is safe to take Telatri while you are pregnant and when breastfeeding. There is no risk to baby.
And while on treatment it is the best way to keep both you and baby healthy. It can also help to greatly reduce the risk of transmission.
