Avatar m tn Well, it seems like there is no other cause than genes to this (probably), but since I really dont like being this underweight, are there any drugs that could help me gain weight (in other words eat more/ slow metabolism). Like some steroids or something? Again, I have tried the "eat more" thing, but it doesnt seem to work very well. At first I do gain weight, but I get pretty bad diarrhea ETC. from eating too much.

3191940 tn?1447268717 PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is a course of HIV medication that can be taken after you have been exposed to HIV. Taking PEP within 72 hours of exposure to HIV greatly reduces the chance of being infected with HIV. * Getting tested: Getting tested for HIV is an important way to prevent the spread of the virus. If you know you are HIV-positive, you can take steps to protect your health and prevent infecting others.
Avatar n tn There are few if any medical therapies that affect the reliability of HIV testing. The only drugs that might do so are very potent immunosuppressive drugs in high doses, or potent chemotherapy of the sort used for widespread cancer. Even those are theoretical only, with few if any actually documented cases of interference with HIV diagnosis. Now I have read the question itself.

1318465 tn?1614894302 Hello I was reading a question the other day about if someone can get HIV from sniffing a powder into their lungs along with the possibility of inhaling some's blood that could be infected with HIV within the said powder/cocaine in this example. As silly as the question sounds, to some people this is a legitimate concern. Maybe the person whom they were with was snorting the drug with them and was HIV positive and had a cold, and maybe later coughed up blood.
Avatar m tn As you know, you have posted on the wrong site. Questions about HIV belong on the HIV prevention site. I will do my best to answer your questions with this reply but, if you have additional questions or follow-up they must be on the HIV Prevention site.
1107839 tn?1328435691 http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/rCan I get HIV from injecting drugs? Yes. At the start of every intravenous injection, blood is introduced into the needle and syringe. HIV can be found in the blood of a person infected with the virus. The reuse of a blood-contaminated needle or syringe by another drug injector (sometimes called "direct syringe sharing") carries a high risk of HIV transmission because infected blood can be injected directly into the bloodstream.
Avatar n tn Hello, Im writing again, this time in the HIV/AIDS section, and hopefully someone will respond now that I am moving to this community. Just about a month ago, I recieved/gave uprotected oral to/from a girl of unknown STD/HIV status. Afterward, I found out that she had been doing heavy drug usage and needles as well. She ended up going to a rehab center which required her to test blood, and later the tests came up negative for everything but herpes.
