Common Questions and Answers about Lamivudine nevirapine and stavudine

I am going to the US in 2 days, if I cannot find a way to get pep here, could I take his ARVs just until then as a temporary measure? He says he takes nevirapine and tenofivir/lamivudine blend.
Any advice really appreciated! If my risk is very low I would prefer not to take pep but I suspect I may be best advised to do so.
If it makes a difference, I am prone to have a tiny amount of blood(I think from tears) on toilet paper when I use the bathroom so that may make it more risky?
Thanks!
As I type this I am shaking in fear.. I really need your Professional advise on this.
On Saturday morning last week I met a girl in Cambodia. After a few drinks together I took her back to my hotel & we had sex. I used a condom throughout the intercourse, however, after I ejaculated & pulled out I noticed the condom broke. It must have broke near the end as when we changed positions I noticed it was intact each time.

Nurse advised me to take ZIDOLAM-N as PEP for 28 days. After continuing for 3 days i visited a doctor and he told me that Nevirapine should not be used for PEP but since i already started the PEP, he advised me to continue the same medication and asked to monitor closely the side effects of the drug. Now today Friday i am experiencing some pain in the upper abdomen.
Is there any possibility that i can change the PEP drug to avoid nevirapine, please Suggest?
Doctor recommended lamivudine in January. Took lamivudine and by June 2010, viral load was undetected. have read in many forums that lam is not the best, approached my doctor with this concern and she sugessted tenofovir. Should i start tenofovir immediately, how should i start. Should i just abruptly stop lam and move on to tenofovir, should i use both and gradually stop lam after a few day/weeks. No other options here. Nigeria (Africa), so i cannot combo with other drugs.
now my ALT is normal, HbeAg is negative Anti-HBe is negative and may DNA is below 6 units but my HbsAg is still positve and Anti-Hbs is negative. Can you please tell me what are the things to be done in order my HbsAg will become negative and my Anti-Hbs will become positive.is it true that REST is one thing am i going to do because i am always tired with my work.
5 year combo with interferon) and drop from couple of milions to 1000 copy and the children (lamivudine mono) clera the infection and seroconvert to HbsAb.
Hello Doc, am 28yrs Male from Africa Uganda,8 days ago i got sexually involved with a girl of 19yrs we used a condom for most of the intercourse but before i climaxed my condom broke at bottom tip, am not sure how long i lasted their in her virgina after my condom broke cos i was drunk but it was around 5 mins when i realized my penis head was not covered i did not continue sex stoped there and i did not cum cos i got scared right away ,then the following day i took her to test and she turned ou
HBV DNA clearance was assessed using assays with different sensitivities to detect HBV DNA. Adefovir and lamivudine increased HBV DNA clearance at end of treatment versus placebo. Entecavir increased clearance versus lamivudine with inconsistent effect size. Lamivudine was less effective than adefovir in lamivudine-resistant patients and less effective than telbivudine in HBeAg-positive patients.
Lamivudine is outdated and ur virus will multiply anyway someday due to resistance to it so best is change to tenofovir and also change ur doctor who even don't know in today's time lamivudine is not used.
Good evening,
I did stop lamivudine treatment around 3 weeks ago, and since a couple of days I feel a discomfort on my right body ribs. Is now around 5 months since I had the acute hepatitis B case.
Last months test showed immunity developing, but I am worried if this could be a relapse. Is normal to still feel this pain or discomfort after 5 months? Can be related to stopping the treatment.
Thanks in advance.
D Doctor advised me to use Lamivudine which I did. Two months ago i did the test again and it showed that I am positive. I was advised to do Liver scan and HBD DNA Viral Load. The scan showed that my Liver is ok. The viral load is 991. I want to try Liv. 52 and Liv. 52H. Has anyone used them before?
once the lamivudine has been started it is difficult to discontinue it without changing it to another medication. it is possible that you have developed resistance and may need to check a viral level and if (+) be switched to another medication. Resistance is very common with lamivudine use. a CT scan or U/s should also be checked.
Even when lamivudine was resumed, it did not stop the rise in ALT, which then down eventually, but the bilirubins did not. May be compensated cirrhosis patients should never stop therapy, and those on lamivudine should switch to a drug with a higher barrier to mutation?
Unfortunately, in 2002 when your wife first started with Lamivudine, antiviral treatment was still somewhat new and probably didn't fully understand what resistance means (and sadly some still don't). And in 2002, Adefovir was approved for treating HepB. Lamivudine has has a poor resistance profile. We know that now but can't turn back the clock.
Now, I am NOT a doctor. But I read that Telbivudine is okay to use during a pregnancy. So ask your wife doctor about that option.
1. I am HBV carrier, and I am also under treatment with taking lamivudine 100mg daily. Will this impact the result? Will lamivudine/HBV virus cause false negative?
2. Because I am taking lamivudine daily, will this cause the delay of seroconversion. I think the test was done about 18 months after events that I thought maybe risky.
3. My test is Combo TypeI/II antibody and p24 antigen QUAL CMIA. Is it reliable?
4. My HBV DNA level is sometimes undetectable, but sometime a few hundreds.
