Is Ranega an ARV or PEP/PrEP?
Answer
Hi, how are you?
Ranega is a generic version of TLD.
TLD is a medication used as both ARV (ART) and PEP. This is because TLD is a combination of 3 drugs that work to treat HIV. The same medication used to treat HIV is also used in PEP.
TLD is a first line recommendation for both ART and PEP.
TLD is not used as PrEP. PrEP only contains 2 drugs, instead of TLD which contains 3. Though they may use similar drugs.

Hi Anonymous, coughing is not a side effect of Ranega. If this is ongoing/gets worse please speak with your doctor about other possible causes.
Hi everyone
Some advice here please, does this Ranega pills make you cough.
I have been coughing cat and dogs since been on the medication 5 days ago.
Is that a side effect or not?

Dear Josh
I tested with my partner december and we both tested negative and had unprotected sex and felt pregnant dan January he moved to another province for work, he had sex there in February and came back to me. In March we had unprotected sex and after 7 days he tested positive and I started prep after 7 days not 72 hours i tested negetive but it still early. So I’m checking if this TLD pills can help me even if it 7 days after exposure? Or im wasting my time. Does the sperm contains virus?
