Avatar m tn 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!
Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar m tn stop lamivudine immediately or switch to tenofovir, it is decades now lamivudine is not used because it can lead to cytopatic hbv mutations that cannot be control with any medication leading to cancer and cirrhosis despite hbsag negative, hbvdna undetectable and normal ast-alt, another reason not to use lamivudine is that it is even totally useless on hbv the hbsag of the virus mutates to a form where the virus destroy cells directly even without replication hbv cure is achieved only by sequen
Avatar m tn Without taking any drugs, viral load was 22,000 in september 2009. 46,000 in december 2009. 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.
Avatar m tn Hepatic decompensation was not prevented by lamivudine compared to placebo or entecavir compared to lamivudine in three underpowered trials. Hepatocellular carcinoma was not prevented in four studies with inadequate size and duration. In one RCT, analysis that adjusted for country, sex, baseline ALT level, Child-Pugh score, and Ishak fibrosis score and excluded five individuals who developed HCC within the first year of the study found a borderline significant effect of lamivudine.

Avatar m tn BACKGROUND: Nucleoside analogues such as lamivudine for chronic hepatitis B have an excellent safety profile while patients are on therapy but reactivation flares occur in 19-50% of patients after stopping therapy, some of whom develop liver decompensation. AIMS: To describe and report three cases who developed fatal hepatitis B reactivation after stopping nucleoside analogue therapy.
Avatar m tn I am a 26 year old male having hbsag and hbeag=+ve,hbv dna =1070 iu/ml(Taqman) but my LFT results are normal(sgpt=37,sgot=33).My doctor has asked me to take lamivudine 100 mg for 6 months or until hbv dna becomes -ve.My mom is taking lamivudine for the last 7 months after her hbv dna crossed 8 lacs iu/ml.Probably I have been infected from my birth.Is it possible for both of us to completely cure Hep. B after taking lamivudine.
Avatar m tn 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.

My employeer is waiting for my respond but I cant give them exact or approximate date when will cured..
Avatar n tn Epivir=Lamivudine, said to be very safe for husband and wife who wish to have children. But do you have to choose Lamivudine as first-line treatment with its high resistance profile?
Avatar m tn But in short, seroconversion from HBeAg to HBeAb COULD be an endpoint of lamivudine treatment. But no guarantee.
Avatar n tn After treatment HBV, I took lamivudine 100 mg/day DNA/HBV is negative since May 2008. Successive (check blood DNA HBV Every 3 months). Now after I stopped using lamivudine 2 months -DNA/HBV: 280,000 Copies = 2,8 x 5log10. -SGOT : 140 ui -SGPT : 300 ui Should I take tenofovir 0,5 mg alone or plus lamivudine 100 mg ?
