A small proportion of people developed bone loss after they started using daily tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (Truvada or generic equivalents) for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and the more they took it, the greater the effect, according to a study presented at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2022).
It is well known that tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is associated with bone loss in HIV-positive people using it for treatment, but there is less evidence about its effects on HIV-negative people taking it for prevention. Some prior studies showed people on PrEP experience mild bone loss, which usually resolves after stopping Truvada. The newer tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine (Descovy) is easier on the bones and kidneys but more associated with weight gain and elevated lipids; with no generic equivalent, it is also a more expensive option.

For those of you not up on the latest gay insanity, PrEP is treatment for “well” people who insist on engaging in demented sexual practice in an effort to prevent AIDS infection. They demand that this be provided free of charge.
imagine the outrage if it produced boner loss.
(despite the fact that it would prevent aids)
Or a promiscuous bi- or heter-....one thing for sure....live by the bone, die by the bone.
The queers get more attention than the normals do. A couple of ads an hour on many channels.
I don’t get TV at my house so I get to miss the perverted ads.
