Do I Qualify for the Truvada Lawsuit?

Who Qualifies for the Truvada Lawsuit?

Primary Requirements

You took a TDF-based HIV medication — Truvada, Viread, Atripla, Complera, or Stribild
You suffered kidney damage or bone loss — Documented by medical testing
The injuries occurred during or after your TDF use

Qualifying Medications

The lawsuits cover the following drugs containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF):

Drug	Active Ingredients
Truvada	TDF + emtricitabine
Viread	TDF only
Atripla	TDF + emtricitabine + efavirenz
Complera	TDF + emtricitabine + rilpivirine
Stribild	TDF + emtricitabine + elvitegravir + cobicistat

Qualifying Injuries

You may have a valid claim if you developed any of the following while taking or after taking TDF:

Kidney Conditions:

Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Acute kidney injury
Fanconi syndrome
Renal tubular dysfunction or acidosis
Kidney failure
Need for dialysis
Need for kidney transplant
Elevated creatinine levels

Bone Conditions:

Osteoporosis
Osteopenia
Bone fractures (especially from minor trauma)
Hip fractures
Spinal compression fractures
Severe bone pain
Decreased bone mineral density

Other Conditions:

Lactic acidosis
Hepatic steatosis
Severe pancreatitis

Factors That Strengthen Your Case

Medical records documenting TDF prescriptions
Pharmacy records showing duration of use
Lab results showing kidney function decline
DEXA scans showing bone density loss
Hospital records for kidney or bone complications
Long duration of TDF use (years)
Documentation of switch to TAF when available

You May Still Qualify If...

You stopped taking TDF and switched to TAF medications
You used TDF for HIV treatment or for PrEP (HIV prevention)
Your doctor never explicitly warned you about TDF risks
You're not sure exactly which medication you took (records can help)
Your kidney or bone problems have stabilized

Truvada for PrEP

You may qualify even if you took Truvada for HIV prevention (PrEP), not for treatment. PrEP users have also experienced kidney and bone problems from TDF, and these claims are part of the litigation.

Future medical costs	Ongoing care, monitoring, potential complications
Lost wages	Income lost during illness and treatment

Common Eligibility Questions

I took Truvada for PrEP but never had HIV — can I file? Yes. PrEP users who developed kidney or bone problems from TDF can file claims.

I switched to a TAF medication years ago — does that affect my case? No. Cases involve injuries from the TDF use, even if you've since switched to safer alternatives.

My kidney damage isn't severe yet — should I wait? No. Document any current problems and file when eligible. Statutes of limitations are running.

I had no obvious problems but recent tests show damage — do I qualify? Yes. Many TDF users develop subclinical kidney or bone damage that only shows up in tests. Document these findings.

Can family members file for someone who died from TDF complications? Yes. Wrongful death claims can be filed by surviving family members.
