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 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 n tn s a bad way to search symptoms and cures) that fake steroids can have inside impurities dangerous for health.I never had episodes of infections so i think it's ok.So, could fake steroids contain virus of any kind of hepatitis?I feel good and as i told you i did test 2 years ago.Do i need some test again?I know this question could sounds stupid but i just need a rassicurance.Thanx a lot.Best regards.
Avatar n tn I am an HIV + male. 43 on truvada/ efavirenz for 2 year with a count of minus 20(undetectable). I was penetrated twice last week where the condom broke and was NOT replaced. The "top" partner is aware of my hiv status. What are the chances of infection for him and apart from testing what should be done? I am otherwise very healthy, no cuts, blood or aparent bruising was detected. I am freaking out for him.
Avatar n tn You should get this checked out - it sounds like maybe dried blood?
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 n tn Also though not a health hazard as such, it will cause corrosion of pipes and this may cause impurities to mix with drinking water. Take care!
Avatar f tn Okay, thank you!!
Avatar m tn Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question. Since you are under care with PEP drugs, that doctor or clinic really ought to be the primary source of information about your risk, follow-up plans, etc. Therefore, my comments are brief. Based on HIV infected persons' sexual histories of when and how they were infected, a CDC study calculated a risk of 1 HIV infection for every 10,000 episodes or performing fellatio on infected partners.
181575 tn?1250198786 Someone asked me about Atripla today. I figure I put my comments here. Atripla is a drug used to treat HIV. It actually consists of 3 drugs, emtricitabine and tenofovir (which also works against HBV) and efavirenz (doesn't work against HBV). Combination treatment is common practice for HIV so they combine multiple drugs into 1 pill. Of course Atripla is NOT an FDA approved therapy for HBV.
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 n tn i once heard a story like this that is because of the impurities found in their garments and once you perspire, this wet surface provides a place for germs to stay, so i'm practically basing it from there,God bless,consult a doctor okay.
Avatar m tn with a cold/flu glands fill up with liquid quite fast, causing them to be tender with lymphoma and other serious causes, the glands gradually notice the underlying impurities in your body, so the grow more gradually, likely to be less tender.
1099201 tn?1338180918 s way of fighting off the infection. Make sure you drink plenty of water, this will help as well, plus flush out all impurities from your system.
863555 tn?1239133228 Before, instead of lopinarvir/retonavir I used efavirenz, which made me high. Nice for party or sex, but otherwise pretty annoying. It turned out my HIV is resistant to efavirenz.
Avatar f tn ll see that there is also a problem with DMSO if not gotten via a prescription, as it can contain impurities that enter the body. Read the information and then at least call a doctor and ask.
Avatar n tn These fish are fed foods that often contain mercury and other impurities, and live unnaturally close to one another. Instead of the beautiful pink color found in wild salmon their flesh is white, so chemicals are added which turn the flesh pink artificially. Omega 3 oils also come from Mackeral and Tuna, and these fish also tend to have higher concentrations of Mercury and other impurites in their fat.
Avatar f tn DMSO will carry both good and bad things into the cell with it. That means any impurities or any substance on the surface of the skin will be directly transported to into your cells. As an extreme example, if you combine DMSO with a toxic or poisonous substance, you could very well end your life with a single application. That's the main reason why it is avoided by the medical community. Despite the downsides, there have been reports that it is extremely useful in fighting herpes.
Avatar f tn No diabetes (if this were a sample taken after fasting), no infection, no kidney disease. Sample might not have been a clear mid-stream sampling (slight, inconsequential impurities) but perhaps it was. Does not appear to have been testing for pregnancy (hCG hormone level) imo.
Avatar m tn I found an article that said a small amount of codeine may show up in patients taking high doses of morphine due to possible impurities in manufacturing. Is this correct? Has anyone else run in to this?? My wife does not take any illicit medications so we are perplexed over this result and are wondering what her doctor is going to do, if anything, at her next appointment next month, 12/2016! Her doses are 45mgs of morphine sulfate ER two times a day and 5mgs of oxycodone three times a day.
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 On AUGUST 19TH and AUGUST 20TH, I started taking ARVs which doctor prescribed. (Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300mg, Lamivudine USP 600mg, Efavirenz USP 200mg). ARVs made me dizzy, so I stoppped on AUGUST 21ST and AUGUST 22ND. After the viral load result, I started ARVs again. One pill everyday regularly. 4. On AUGUST 29th, I gave blood sample for PCR-HIV QUALITATIVE: (Performed using the Roche COBAS Ampliprep/COBAS Taqman HIV-1 Qualitative Version 2.0 assay.) It turned out negative.
Avatar m tn The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is still investigating whether these chemical impurities are at a high enough level to be a health risk. For the latest updates, please visit: https://www.fda.
Avatar f tn I was given pep (efavirenz+ tenofovir + lamivudine) for 28 days after 48 hours. But I had it for 29 days instead. Now after 57 days I am having flu like symptoms. Runny nose and a bit of sore throat. No fever though. And my abdominal hurts a bit and a little joint pain.. 1. What are my chances of contracting hiv from this fingering exposure? 2. Is pep successful if taken at 48 hours of exposure.? 3. Do i need testing? I was tested negative at baseline.
Avatar m tn They took my blood test only as a ground zero (for later comparisons). Then doctor prescribed me Zilarvir (2 tablets a day) and Efavirenz (1 tablet a day) to take them one (1) month. The medicines arrived at 15:00 (3:00 PM) and I took both - 17 hours after the incident and high risk exposure. Doctor told me to come after one month when they will take a new blood test and follow-up.
