HIV-PrEP and nutrients<\/span><\/h1>\n

HIV-PrEP protects against HIV, but can affect the nutrient balance. We show you how you can compensate for possible deficiencies with a balanced diet.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

HIV-PrEP and its effects on the nutrient balance<\/span><\/h2>\n

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (HIV-PrEP) has established itself in recent years as an effective measure to protect against HIV infection. It is a particularly promising way of protecting people with an increased risk of infection. However, as with any drug therapy, there are certain factors that should be taken into account. <\/span><\/p>\n

An increasingly discussed topic is the influence of HIV-PrEP on the body's nutrient balance. Can regular use lead to a loss of important nutrients? And how can you counteract these deficiencies? We look into these questions and give you valuable tips on how you can optimally support your health during treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The effect of HIV-PrEP on the body<\/span><\/h2>\n

HIV-PrEP contains the two active ingredients tenofovir and emtricitabine, which specifically block an enzyme that HIV viruses need to multiply. This mode of action makes HIV-PrEP a highly effective means of HIV prevention. At the same time, however, these substances can influence the metabolism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Studies have shown that tenofovir may be associated with slightly reduced bone density. This is because the body's calcium and phosphate utilisation can be impaired, which increases the risk of osteoporosis in the long term. In addition to bone health, other areas of nutrient balance may also be affected, necessitating conscious health management.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
