Answer
We get lots of questions similar to this.
In general, if you have any symptoms this is something to talk to your doctor about.
i-Base can provide information but we can’t diagnose symptoms.
Although some symptoms can be side effects, sometimes they are related to other things.
Odimune includes an ARV called efavirenz, and this can make you more anxious and worried. This link has more information on efavirenz:

No ARVs have side effects that include vagina pain so this sounds like something to ask your doctor about.

Hi CS, your vagina burning is not a specific side effect of Tenemine. Tenemine can cause skin reactions of which this may have caused this feeling of your vagina burning. This symptom should be discussed with your doctor.
HI there, I also was trying to start my PrEP treatment using Tenemine…My vagina burns. At first I was taking anti biotics at my first attempt and thought that was the cause. Now Im not and attempted again and my vagina is burning again/. HELP!
Hi Cindy, what PEP are you taking? Has anything else changed while you started PEP?
I started Pep today and my vagina has been burning for 14 hours now. What can be the cause?
Hi Vukosi,
It’s a good idea to get these symptoms checked by your doctor. You can ask for sexual health checks for other STIs. Other STIs at listed at this link.
Started with PEP yesterday, might say my vagina is burning and it seems it’s not stopping. Should I be worried or wait for a couple of days.
Hi Lona,
This has nothing to do with the Atenef. If it continues, please see a doctor.
I started atenef 2 days ago and this morning i noticed brownish thing coming out of my vagina
Hi Anonymous,
What you’ve described aren’t side effects of PEP. Therefore, if you’re having issues you should speak to a healthcare professional.
Ever since taking this treatment for PEP Ive started experiencing pain urinating and awfully smelling discharge from my vagina. And it doesn’t feel as ‘tight’ at the opening, is this part of the side effects of it??? Please help, I’m on the verge of losing my fiance as he thinks I’m cheating on him and sleeping around.
