norvir hiv

What is your doctor thinking? Is this an HIV Specialist? Are you multi drug resistant? You say your combo is Combivir : which is AZT and 3TC Truvada : which is Viread and Emtriva (which is almost identical to 3TC and should not be taken together) Viread : which is already in the Truvada! Prezista : which is a PI that MUST be taken with Norvir which you aren't on!

Initial counts were 423 viral load (not thousands - just 423) but T cell was 398. Immediately went undetectable. Put on Fortavase, Combivir, Norvir. Soon switched to just Fortavase 8 bid, combivir 1 bid. over time decreased to just 1 fortavase bid and 1 combivir bid. Been up in 700 - 900 T cell the whole time. No one can explain to me why numbers were odd to begin with. Also now that fortavase is off market my doc wants to switch me to Invirase, Combivir and Norvir.

The only side effects ill have in the soft stool from time to time, the tingling feeling in my hands and feet from the norvir this too is from time to time, they say the norvir also has gastro effects, I know when it will kill someone....lol.... As of last month my t-cells were 945. I have been positive for 5 years on meds for 4years...

Hi all....after 7 days of HIV pep I'm accusing itching and red spots (not exactly rash) on arms... taking truvada+norvir+prezista It can be a symptom of acute infection or prophylaxis?

I started taking PEP on august 4th. I take truvada norvir and reyataz. I went to get a rapid antibody hiv test today and was negative. Should I still be worried and stressed? I haven't slept much since this happened.

There are no descriptions of this being a problem. In fact, if persons are taking Isentress for their HIV, the beneficial effect of the HIV therapy is likely to reduce the risk for reactivation. I would not worry.

I was diagnosed with HIV in 2006, I was 26 years......I was at 129CD4 count.......When I started feeling sick I started treatment. I got all the way up to almost 500CD4 count....I was undetectable for 5 years until now docs were like wow! I went into the hospital back in Feb of this year for some kidney infection that the doctors was confounded about how I got and my CD4 was 2something and viral load 500+ AFTER 5 YEARS UNDETECTABLE!. Kidneys got clear & I left....

Handsfield, I have started with antiretroviral therapy in April this year after my cd4+ further declined to 480 and viral load remained very high at 800,000 even after 6 months after exposure. I am currently on combination of Truvada, Prezista and Norvir which I take regularly every 24 hours. I feel much better than before meds, from time to time I have soar throat, nothing serious though. I didnt notice any significant side effects except temporary diarrhoea.

I recently started the Norvir, Reyataz, Truvada combo. This is my first time taking "the meds" after being hiv + for 20 years. I have been on them for only 11 days. I have weird side effects: headaches, queasy stomach, and fatigue/weakness. I told my doctor, and he said, to "tough it out for another week, and he'll see if he needs to change the combination, or switch meds.

In a drug safety communication, the agency warned that there are important drug interactions between boceprevir (Victrelis) and anti-HIV protease inhibitors boosted with ritonavir (Norvir). Boceprevir, approved last year, is a novel direct-acting agent targeting the NS3/4A protease of hepatitis C. It's taken with ribavirin and pegylated interferon-alfa to treat genotype 1 disease.

I know of one person who has XMRV who is being treated with an antiviral. She was being treated with an HIV antiviral called Zidovudine. Many doctors are not comfortable at this point with treating XMRV at all though. She is a lucky one. Perhaps you will get more answers from the community.

I received PEP and took it for one month strictly(although a norvir tablet was left outside where its gelatin cover went mushy but nothing came out - i took it) I have had two 4th generation DUO tests(ag/ab) which both came back negative 2 weeks post-PEP and 3 months post-PEP.

I went to the doctor and they tested me. I was negative. They gave me some medicine called truvada norvir and reyataz.They told me to come back August 28. The woman also told me she was undetectable and said her viral load is extremely low. I went with her to her doctor and her doctor did confirm that. What are the chances I have it? I am very scared to death right now.

I was taking truvada norvir and reyataz. Where are you getting your info from? Like I said a few hiv counselers also told me that this is a myth. Pep hotline said its a myth too.

I am a RN and I was giving a patient a SQ insulin shot in the back of her arm, she went to get up as i was finished and the needle went into my left thumb. My heart sank and so did my life. I knew she was HIV+ so i was freaking out right away. As soon as it happened i bled the site and washed it with soap and alcohol. I started PEP 2 hrs later (truvada, norvir, raltegravir, and preszita), my initial results are negative.

Welcome to the life of being HIV positive. What you are concern about is normal for those that are HIV positive and those who have progressed to AIDS. Have you looked into CFS? There are medications to help improve it, but don't get your hopes up that you will be like you were before being diagnosed with HIV.

I had frottage (penis rubbing for probably 30 secs to 1 min) and mutual masturbation with him. Will I get HIV infected or not? Actually i think i didn't get any wound after penis rubbing or mutual masturbation (because I didn't feel any pain when i cleaned my penis but still not sure because he retreated my penis skin and i felt little painful at that sec because he retreated too strongly and the other sec when my penis was on his belly and my foreskin was pressed by his belly).

I do not know the status of my partner--at least I cant confirm it. I received the treatment of an HIV specialist and have been on PEP for 28 days. I started PEP approximately 65 hours and was on kaletra, truvada, and norvir. I am seeing the doctor on monday for a follow-up. I went this morning for a rapid HIV test. It was negative. I know I am within the window period still, but I am trying to understand if that test was at all good news, or meant nothing.

4 I have a compromised immune system and am on truvada, norvir, and reyataz. I have been walking and watching my intakes... I do have a sweet tooth sometimes but otherwise I eat pretty healthy. any ideas?

This guy kept reassuring me that he gets tested all the time etc etc but thats his word and who knows for certain. So I ran to my doctor and he gave me Prezist, Truvada, and Norvir. I took them for about 9 days and then this past Thursday (1/26) I wokeup with a rash and I freaked out thinking it was an ARS rash. As a child I was allergic to sulfa drugs and have since stayed away from them. I ran to n HIV doc and he looked at it and said that it was an allergy to the medicine.

My results in April were undetectable and that was with the exception of missing doses. I am aware that HIV transmission can happen from just one single act of sex but this was the one and only and very last time we done it without a condom. My anxiety has been running wild and I know that getting tested will ease my anxiety but I can't help but think that he will tell me he has it. I don't know what to do because I should have been the one to say no and leave.
