Hi guys, I recently had sex with someone who was HIV positive. The next day I went to the clinic and they gave me PEP. I am currently on TLD but I am experiencing a stuffy nose, dry mouth and sore throat. I have little red spots on my legs, like a rash I don’t know if this are side effects or not. Please help.
Answer
Hi, how are you?
All meds can cause mild or minor side effects in some people but not everyone will get these side effects. Most of the side effects listed with the drug information only affect a percentage of people who use these meds.
This means nearly every medicine has a daunting list of potential side effects, but in practice you are unlikely to get any or only one or two.

Hi Tshepo, as with any skin changes please speak with your doctor.
When did you first notice the itching? and have you noticed any other symptoms/changes in your body since starting treatment?
Do you know your current CD4 count/viral load?

Hi Nelisiwe, how has your body changed since being on TLD? and over how long have you noticed these changes?
Has anything else in your life changed that could have caused these changes e.g., diets, exercise levels, sleep, stress…etc?
It’s TLD tablets shape body, what should you do for that, can I go back to tee/tfe600, 300,200
