Is TLD used by people who have HIV or not?
Answer
Hi, how are you?
TLD is a combination of 3 drugs, tenofovir, lamivudine and dolutegravir. It is an antiviral and is used to treat and prevent HIV.
TLD can be taken daily by someone HIV positive daily to treat HIV. It will suppress viral load and prevent transmission to other people. It will also allow for CD4 count recovery.
In people exposed to HIV, if taken with 72 hours, TLD can be taken as a 28 day course to prevent transmission of HIV.

Hi Thulaganyo, anyone with an undetectable viral load on TLD will mean their HIV meds are also protecting their partners too. You have to also be okay with this though as this is something for you to decide. This link has info on U=U:
