Truvada meds Mar 3, 2012 Hi Dr. Young, This is the 3rd day that I am on PEP treatment. My question is, my doctor only give me Truvda for PEP treatment, is that good enough? Or I also need to take Kaletra and Truvada combination? Best regards |

 Hello and thanks for posting. Either option is ok; there's a lot of variation to what's recommended for PEP regimens. This is from the US nPEP (non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis) guidelines: "Preferred regimens include efavirenz and lamivudine or emtricitabine with zidovudine or tenofovir (as a nonnucleoside-based regimen) and lopinavir/ritonavir (coformulated in one tablet as Kaletra®) and zidovudine with either lamivudine or emtricitabine. Different alternative regimens are possible." Be well, BY | ||||||||
