Avatar n tn This was asked several years ago (2007 http://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV-Prevention/Third-Generation-HIV-Test-in-Seattle-Washington-area/show/298471), but I'm wondering if things have changed. It's hard to believe that the city where Dr. Handsfield works still has no 3rd gen testing locations (at least available to the public). And Seattle is a pretty reasonably sized city to not have this. Does anyone know of anything in Seattle/King County?
Avatar f tn You have a major misunderstanding about HIV transmission risks. No sex and no needle-sharing means no HIV risk. If HIV could be transmitted in the ways you imagine -- by contacting bathroom surfaces, bedding, etc in rooms where HIV infected people have been -- AIDS would be a hundred times more common than it is and would not be classified as a sexually transmitted and blood-borne disease.
Avatar n tn teak why are you making up your own theories no where on the study does it say the tests where all done before 3 months and i just got off the phone with one of the hiv specialists at harborview in Seattle where the study took place and they said that is b.s. that almost all the tests were taken outside the window period and not only that there was 133 false negatives so your saying they all tested in the window period?
55646 tn?1263660809 After years of nothing new in herpes research, everything is new right now. Nationally, there are at least three different studies beginning for the treatment of genital herpes. First, the Genocea phase one (first in humans) trial. Instead of an oral medication to treat herpes, Genocea out of Boston has taken the approach of stimulating the immune system to respond more robustly to the herpes virus in people who are already infected with the virus.
Avatar f tn If there was a 'Gene' for autism, then everyone must have woke-up with it one day 10 years ago when the autism population exploded all of a sudden! There are too many enviromental causes for autism. More boys are diagnosed because their genetic code is XY, and that is weaker than XX. The first 'Vaccine' given to a newborn baby is a Hepatitis vaccine, and that is given on the birthday.
1056870 tn?1254244774 can hiv vaccine be possible and what time it will take to evolve such vaccine, is vaccine available in any part of country
Avatar m tn Personally there is a Vaccine currently in Phase 1 Trails that was recently Approved by the FDA which in a sense is a major step for any Vaccine. This Vaccine uses a Whole HIV Virus instead of little bits of it. There is also a Heavy Duty Vaccine (Genes) in the pipeline as well. We also need to Focus Prevention Methods on the hardest hit the Gay community. We need to have a Aggressive safe sex promotion and Widespread HIV TESTING.
Avatar n tn or some amount of it left in my body, and an adenovirus vaccine-induced enhancement of target cells for HIV can cause an infection (kind of delayed seroconversion)? The studies on the HIV vaccine considered 6 months old exposures as high-risk (prior to the administration of the vaccine), if I remember correctly, but I dont know if that was used for behavioural purposes. It isnt clear in the cited studies. 2.

390916 tn?1204840470 I'm going to Seattle for a wedding and we've decided to spend a week since we've never been out there. Has anyone been out there who can advise on getting around. My right leg is pretty weak and, with an AFO, I can usually walk up to one half mile. We've always been great walkers on vacations to new places and this is going to be a new experience. Any suggestions or advice?
Avatar f tn if someone inadvertently injects a quantity of HIV blood into the vaccine bottle can it infect or the vaccine component will inactivate hiv ? If syringes or needles have been used before in a person with HIV what is the possibility of infection.
Avatar m tn it is not enough to test that only you have to test hbsag, hbsab and hbcab igg and igm to have a picture no difference and you ll clear hbv anyway even if no vaccine, anyway you are fully on time and if you dont mind to spend the money for the vaccine you dont need to wait for any test if you want to save money check the tests above and if any positive you had hbv already and cleared, hbv has no symptoms
Avatar n tn Vaccine Campaigns May Be The Cause of New AIDS-Like Disease in Asia and Drug Resistant HIV Affecting Africa Researchers have identified mysterious new symptoms that have left scores of people in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa with an AIDS-like disease and drug-resistant HIV respectively. Coincidentally, vaccine trials took place in several regions in both continents. The patients' immune systems become damaged, leaving them unable to fend off germs as healthy people do.

Avatar m tn no vaccine for hiv. Go to ART centre immediately without wasting time and take prophylactic dose for 28 days continuosly to minimise risk to acquire hiv. Vaccine for hbv doesnt works if u are already exposed to it.
Avatar f tn I am hearing some news that there is a vaccine for HIV been released recently in US but not sure. Anybody in medical profession can confirm if this is true?

605648 tn?1249571427 there is a lot of news lately on pregnant woman being at high risk, so i probably will take the vaccine but i,m afraid of this particular vaccine over the flu vaccine..i have not heard anything more than whats written above..
Avatar m tn Yes, I have been sexually active but plan on getting married now and stay loyal with my partner. I am from Seattle and all these incidents happened in Seattle. I am a heterosexual male and do not use any drugs. Here is a brief description on the sexual intercourse - I have had protected oral (given to me) and protected vaginal intercourse with all 4 escorts.
Avatar f tn But in our country, blood/blood product transfusion is not 100% safe, that being said, some guys contract HBV and HIV from blood transfusion. Although TIG is more expensive and better, I fear it will transmit HIV to me, as it's also kind of human blood product. So, I want to ask whether horses' blood can also be infected by HIV? If not, maybe I will choose TIG.
Avatar f tn Hi , I have taken H1N1 nasal spray vaccine 2 months ago and plan to do HIV test in the next 3 weeks. Is there a possibility that the H1N1 vaccine may result in a false positive HIV elisa blood test?
Avatar m tn I recently donated a blood, but I received a letter from the blood center saying that my HBcAb core is positive with Ausab is 26, (but I am tested Negative for HIV 1+2 Integral , HIV 1+2, HBs Ag, HCV, RPR, and HTLV 1+2). They asked me to take 3 dose Hepatitis B vaccine, and they can not accept blood from me again. I am a male 44 years old; I never took the Hepatitis B vaccine before. I am wondering why I am tested positive Hepatitis for B Core Antibody , and what does Ausab 26 mean?
