Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Truvada from Canada?

90-day cost = 90 tablets at the usual dose of 1 a day, bought as one order of whole packs with one shipping fee. 90-day cost is worked out from each pharmacy's real order size so different pack sizes compare fairly. Orders are kept within a 3-month supply (92 days); a pack that is larger than that is marked and not used for the lowest price at the top of this page. Prices checked Nov 11, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars. Savings compare with the U.S. list price of the same strength (100 mg/150 mg, 133 mg/200 mg, 167 mg/250 mg or 200 mg/300 mg). The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Price is the pharmacy's own price for one pack, as shown on its website (converted to U.S. dollars when it prices in Canadian dollars). Delivery is the pharmacy's own estimate for the shipping option shown, not a promise; some pharmacies count from when they receive your prescription or ship the order. Total = the packs needed + shipping. When those packs don't add up to exactly 90 days, the row shows what that order costs and, under it, what it works out to for 90 days; we sort by the 90-day amount so pack sizes compare fairly. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, for whole fills, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards. “Fee not published” means the pharmacy doesn’t show its shipping fee before checkout, so that row’s total is the medicine price only.

Other Ways to Pay for Truvada

How do you pay?

We show the programs that usually fit, cheapest first where we know the price. Private insurance means a plan through work or one you buy yourself. Programs set their own rules, so check the terms before you count on one. We don't save this choice.

Other ways to pay, useful if you have insurance or Medicare:

  • Gilead Advancing Access (free medicine if uninsured): Gilead says uninsured patients may be able to get their Gilead medicine, including Truvada, free of charge through its patient assistance program. You must live in the U.S., Puerto Rico or a U.S. territory and meet other criteria. Call 1-800-226-2056. (Gilead Advancing Access)

We list these because they may save you money. No one pays us to include them. Prices and eligibility rules change, so confirm before you buy. Checked Nov 11, 2026.

Brand Truvada lists at $1,842.28 for 30 tablets, which works out to about $61.41 a tablet (Texas DSHS). FDA-approved generics have been on the U.S. market for several years, and their list prices in the same filing are a small fraction of that. List prices are what makers charge wholesalers. What a pharmacy charges you can be higher or lower.

Truvada cost with Medicare in 2026

In 2026, Part D plans can charge a deductible of up to $615, and once your out-of-pocket spending on covered Part D drugs reaches $2,100, you pay nothing more for covered drugs for the rest of the year. What you pay for brand Truvada or the generic for HIV treatment depends on your plan's drug list. PrEP is handled differently: CMS says Medicare Part B has covered PrEP medicines for HIV, with no deductible or copay, since September 30, 2024. Gilead's co-pay coupon can't be used with Medicare.

What is Truvada used for?

Truvada combines two HIV medicines, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, in one tablet. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:

  • With other HIV medicines, to treat HIV-1 infection in adults and in children who weigh at least 17 kg (about 37 pounds).
  • For PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis): to lower the risk of getting HIV-1 through sex in at-risk adults and teens who weigh at least 35 kg (about 77 pounds).

Truvada comes in four strengths. Adults and teens take the 200/300 mg tablet once a day; the three lower strengths are for children, by weight. Boxed warning: the label carries the FDA's strongest warning. Hepatitis B can get much worse in people who have it and stop Truvada. And for PrEP, you must test HIV-negative right before starting and at least every 3 months, because taking Truvada alone with an undetected HIV infection can lead to drug resistance. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.

Is it safe to order Truvada from Canada?

Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Truvada, compare the U.S. price of FDA-approved generic Truvada and Gilead's programs before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. In Canada, Truvada 200/300 mg is sold under the same name by Gilead Sciences Canada (Health Canada).
