Avatar m tn I am sorry I may be posting on a wrong group. Maybe because of anxiety I could not find a forum on HIV risks. I kindly ask for your understanding and assistance. I really would appreciate your valuable opinion and experience about my VÄ°RAL LOAD test results. I had risky sex on AUGUST 9th with a female. I learned that she was HIV positive A WEEK LATER. (I had used condom.
Avatar m tn I have 20 years and I have HIV positive person. I drink medicines already 4 months. I use drugs Truvada and Efavirenz Teva. Please tell me how to code your disease treated? Whether you are at injection instead of pills?
Avatar n tn Are there still any evidence of efavirenz teratogenicity in human studies especially on the neuro tube defect
Avatar m tn Wish I knew how much I messed up and the actual risk, I found out that one is positive, the others I still dunno. What are my chances of surviving this without infection?
Avatar f tn My doctor recently put me on a combination of drugs for PEP, the drugs are lamzid and efavirenz and have very serious side effects. My exposure was licking/sucking a nipple of a non-pregnant HIV positive person. No milk came or blood came out but just had an after taste in my mouth. The act was for 2-3 seconds. What are my chances of getting HIV and are the reported cases of infection in adults, cause I know with babies you can.
Avatar f tn 1 hours ago I had protected sex with a sex worker which ended with a failed condom(punched) and then hour later i went to consult doctor and he prescribed EFAVIRENZ and LAMZID.AM I STIL SAFE?
Avatar m tn Since that time, he is receiving HAART with lamivudine-zidovudine-efavirenz twice daily, but he told me that there are some days ( at maximun 3) that he does not take the pills, but most days of the month he is adhering to the treatment. His current viral load is 39,000 copies/ml. When I realized of him diagnosis, I went to a doctor who gave me profilaxis about 18 hours post-exposure with lamivudine-zidovudine.
Avatar f tn Hi all, I have been on a combination of PEP drugs for the past week, the drugs are lamzid and efavirenz. 2 days after taking the drugs I started growing ulcers on my mouth (which has happened before) and I think one in my anus. Could this mean that I am HIV positive? I am very scared. My exposure was sucking a nipple of a woman for less than 2 seconds.
Avatar m tn m now under retro-viral treatment (Abacavir, 3TC Lamiduvina, and Efavirenz TM as known in my country), healthy, fit, high CD4 count, undetectable viral load. Recently, I met a person, we kissed and we practiced oral sex on each other. Eventhough I know my condition, and have always tried to avoid people practice fellation on me, he insisted and at the end I agreed. Now, I am really concerned about him. Could he have been infected? Should I tell him to test for HIV?
Avatar f tn Has anyone received a false positive for turners syndrome when testing the genetics of your baby?
Avatar f tn I received test results yesterday and need some help. The physician is optimistic that it's a false positive but I need some input. I went for retesting but need some type of hope right now. HIV 1/O/2 Abs Index Value 1.01 Reference range <1.00 HIV 1/O/2 Abs QUAL Repeatedly Reactive What factors would contribute to a false positive? was also diagnosed with BV. Could this play a factor with my antibodies for testing?
Avatar f tn If it said positive, then it's positive. There's no such thing as a false positive unless your test was a blue dye test. Congrats! You can look into medicaid if you can't afford to go to the Dr.
Avatar f tn I have cyst on my ovaries and I had a positive test. So I scheduled an appt. and they did both urine and blood test and those came out positive. But I would suggest making an appt. so you have that extra confirmation.
Avatar f tn I got a very faint positive. I took another later on around 1pm and I got a negative. What are the odds of a false positive? I'm nervous now. I'm having no symptoms of my period coming. I'm expecting it in three days. I'm having early pregnancy symptoms but don't want to trick myself into thinking I am. Please.... any input?
Avatar f tn Is it possible to get a false positive on a pregnancy test 2 months after giving birth??? Thank you in advance!!!
Avatar m tn The causes of false positive HSV2 tests are unknown. You'll find websites that talk about infection with other viruses in the herpes group, but that explains few if any false positive result. That your partner has a negative result is great, but it doesn't mean anything in regard to your test result. You still need additional testing if you want to sort this out.
Avatar m tn Do you have the exact numerical results for your test you had done last week or did they really only say negative/positive?
Avatar m tn Since this number is really low, and my only partner teste negative, my doctor said to forget about it since it is more than likely a false positive? which apparentally are not uncommon? What do you guys think? Just forget about the matter and keep an eye out for any possible lesions?
Avatar f tn odds are this is a false positive unless your spouse is lying about other partners. unfortunately since this is your 3rd trimester, you are really limited in your options for confirming a low positive. The last trimester results in a natural hemodilution of your blood test makes accurately testing for herpes via blood tests difficult. at this point, ask more questions about your herpes blood test. make sure it was a hsv2 igg of 1.52 and not a combined igg or igm testing.
