Truvada Lawsuit Attorneys
Hundreds of lawsuits claim that the pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) drug, Truvada, causes kidney problems and bone loss. Additionally, they allege that the manufacturer, Gilead Sciences Inc., knew of Truvada’s harmful effects, did not disclose them to patients, and even allegedly withheld a safer alternative, tenofovir alafenamide, or TAF, to keep profiting off the drug.

What To Do if You Have Suffered Side Effects After Taking TDF
If you have suffered serious side effects after taking Truvada or a similar HIV drug containing TDF, consult with your medical provider right away. Then, contact the experienced attorneys at Grimes Teich Anderson to learn about your legal options and your rights at no upfront cost. To secure maximum compensation for your injuries stemming from Truvada or TDF consumption, you must act quickly.
What To Know About Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) Lawsuits
Currently, there are hundreds of lawsuits pending against drug maker Gilead in California state and federal courts, including one class-action lawsuit. While most cases are in California, some are in other states, such as Louisiana and Delaware.
These lawsuits claim that Gilead knew, or should have known, that TDF - the active ingredient in Truvada - is “highly toxic in the doses prescribed and risked permanent and possibly fatal damage to the kidney and bones.” Moreover, Gilead ignored and misrepresented the risks instead of conducting additional studies and informing the public to “continue to raise its market share with TDF.”
Gilead intends to fight these claims, though the company has expressed concern that plaintiff victories could mean significant monetary losses. While they sought to dismiss the California cases, the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles allowed victims’ claims to move forward.
So far, there have been no settlements or trials yet. However, this is an active lawsuit, and legal representation is crucial for victims to be fully compensated for their injuries, damages, and losses. Defective drug lawyers expect more HIV/AIDS patients to come forward and file claims for drugs containing TDF such as Truvada, Viread, Atripia, Complera, and Stribild. If you've taken any of these medications and suffered bone loss or kidney damage, our attorneys are here to help.

Awesome firm! Chris Connolly took time to listen and review our situation. He was very honest and upfront about the process and potential outcomes. My daughter’s case has some complexities and Chris explained every detail and possibility. Bottom line, he fought for us and won!!! I would rate them 10 stars if possible.

I had the chance to speak with Anna Hamrick and Katie Gates, and their professionalism truly stood out. From 2024 to 2026, everything was handled well, with a level of confidence, honesty, and calm presence. They took their time with me, explained everything clearly, and treated me with real care and respect. Their dedication and work ethic are admirable; I’m genuinely grateful for the way they guided me.

Needing an attorney was never something I wanted to need, but I did and thanks to Anna H. and Katie G. it was not so overwhelming. Having to deal with a legal issue and having a trusted attorney is key. I had no idea what to expect during the duration of the time I needed legal representation but Anna and Katie not only keep me well informed but also explained things to me in a way that made sense. If you happen to find yourself in need of legal representation I highly recommend them.

Side Effects of Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) Consumption
Truvada is a drug that utilizes two active ingredients: emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). TDF is a toxic chemical meant to prevent HIV cells from spreading in the body. However, this chemical absorbs poorly in the body, causing potentially fatal damage to the kidney and bones. If you experienced the following adverse effects of TDF, you might have a lawsuit:
Kidney Problems
- Acute kidney injury or acute renal failure
- Chronic kidney disease or declining kidney function
- Fanconi’s syndrome – a disorder where substances usually absorbed into the blood are excreted in the urine instead
- Kidney tubular dysfunction
Kidney issues could be indicated by symptoms such as bone pain that does not get better or gets worse, pain in arms, legs, hands, or feet, broken bones, and muscle pain or weakness.
Bone Density Loss
- Osteopenia
- Osteoporosis
- Bone fractures
Symptoms of bone density loss include bone pain or softening or thinning of the bones. This could lead to fractures and depleted bone mineral density.
Make How to File a Lawsuit for Adverse Effects of TDF
Before you file a Truvada or TDF lawsuit, you must consider the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations is the period between when you were harmed by Truvada’s side effects and the last day you’re allowed to file a compensation claim. This time varies based on your state.
Next, hire a reputable defective drug attorney to represent your TDF lawsuit and walk you through the litigation process. At Grimes Teich Anderson, our compassionate attorneys are ready to get to work to ensure that you receive the settlement you need to move forward.
