HIV patients who have used medications containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) claim that manufacturer Gilead Sciences of delaying the sale of improved, safer medications. They claim that old formulas of the recipes are unnecessarily dangerous, and that the manufacturer delayed distribution of updated and improved formulas that pose fewer health risks. Victims are claiming financial compensation for kidney and bone-related injuries and illnesses.
Yes, there are active lawsuits against Truvada. Victims have brought claims against Gilead Sciences, Inc., the manufacturers of the HIV drug Truvada. The lawsuits are based on defects in the drug that increase the risks of kidney and bone disease. Victims want compensation based on product defect laws and legal negligence.
Any of the following drugs may be included in the TDF drug lawsuit:

(See In Re. Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Products Liability Litigation, MDL 2881)
In 2021, more than 140 claims have already been made based on Truvada kidney and bone damage. Victims may still start a lawsuit. Advocates are aiming to hold manufacturers accountable for their failure to provide safer medications to the public as they become available. They are also claiming financial compensation for their own injuries and damages.
The first lawsuit was filed by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) in 2016. Then, two more cases began in 2018, Lujano v. Gilead Sciences Inc., No. BC 702302 (Cal. 2018), and Martinez v. Gilead Sciences Inc., No. BC 705063 (Cal. 2018). With multidistrict litigation proceedings taking place in California, expedited pretrial proceedings may occur soon including discovery and pre-trial motions. The court may conduct bellwether trials to aid settlement proceedings or send the cases back to their original jurisdictions for settlement negotiations and trial.

Deadlines for the Truvada lawsuit may vary by jurisdiction. Contact a lawyer as soon as possible to begin working on your case.
TDF manufacturers are accused of holding back safer and improved HIV medications, to continue selling and profiting from older formulas that had already been produced. Later formulas used tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) instead of TDF. The improved formula decreases the risks of kidney and bone disease that exist with TDF. As manufacturers became aware of improvements they could make, older versions became the basis for legal liability based on defective product design and a failure to warn consumers of the risks associated with TDF medications.
Gilead Sciences sells about 80% of HIV medications around the world. The drugs were first approved in 2001 as a treatment for HIV. Then, in 2008, authorities added approval for Hepatitis B. Finally, in 2013, children also became approved recipients of the HIV drug.
TDF HIV medications work by preventing reproduction and spread of the HIV virus. They block an enzyme that the body needs to reproduce the HIV virus. TDF, or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, may be prescribed by itself or with a combination of other antiviral drugs.
The ingredients in TDF are not easily absorbed by the body. That means doses must be high to have an effect. The high dose may create an increased risk of toxicity to the kidneys and bones. An alternative formula, TAF (tenofovir alafenamide fumarate) lowers risks of these complications to users.
Getting compensation when you have been harmed by taking TDF HIV medication is a complex process. You’re up against a big pharmaceutical company that does not want to admit wrongdoing or pay claims. They put profits first at the expense of people who rely on the drugs.
