Q and A

Question

Can you take Telatri when pregnant?

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 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.
