Question

Is hair loss a side effect of TLD?

Why has my hair been falling and getting thinner after starting my ART. I was recently diagnosed in December 2021, my CD4 was 400. I’m currently on 3TC, DTG and TDF (TLD).

Answer

Hi, how are you doing?

Hair loss is not a side effect of your HIV medication TLD. Please refer to this previous question about all common side effects of TLD.

What is your viral load? How long have you been on medication for? HIV does not typically cause hair loss in those on medication.
