reyataz hiv

I am on the above HIV therapy/combo for almost 2 years ..... It has greatly reduced my viral load. But, my liver results AST/ALT have been terrible since June. This week I have started to have yellowing of the eyes? Should I drop the Reyataz ?

I have been on the Norvir, Reyataz, Truvada combo for over a year with no side effects.

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.

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....

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.

com/HIVAIDS/HIVAIDS/31103 WASHINGTON -- A new drug for hepatitis C can reduce the effectiveness of some HIV medications if they are taken together and vice versa, the FDA is warning. 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.

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.

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.

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?

I slept with an HIV positive girl (she only told me afterwards). We did it once & for about 3 minutes. I went to the hospital & i was given Post Exposure Prophylaxis pills to take for 28days. I started taking them after 60 hours. I have been taking them daily. I am scared, what are my chances of contracting the disease? Has anyone had a similar situation. Please help!

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.

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.

1) Have unprotected (no condom) penetrative anal or vaginal sex, OR 2) Share IV drug equipment with other IV drug users. It’s really as simple as that. HIV can also be passed from an infected mother to an unborn child, or to a newborn through breastfeeding. You cannot get HIV from: 1) Having penetrative sex with a condom that does not visibly break. Don’t bother filling your condom with water after sex. Fabled “microscopic” or “tiny” holes in condoms aren’t a cause of HIV transmission.

If you are reading this, you are probably obsessing over the possibility of having contracted HIV and/or are dreading getting an HIV test. However, it is my aim to teach you that you really have nothing to worry about concerning such an exposure. First, HIV is a very difficult virus to transmit sexually.

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.

The docs have BOTH said time and time again in the expert forum that neither of them, in their combined DECADES of being specialists dealing with HIV have EVER seen a case of HIV as a result of oral sex, nor have they READ any convincing cases. There is a physiological reason for that. First, the virus isn't present in the saliva, making infection impossible for the receptive partner (the person receiving oral sex).

Please don't send me questions that have already been answered on one of the STD or HIV forums. I will not disagree with correct info from Vance, Grace, 2terrifed, KDaily, Teak, Lizzie, Joggen, JeanClaude, Nursegirl, etc., and most certainly not Drs. Handsfield and Hook. If you have been given incorrect information, it will be corrected on the forums by one of the regulars who is educated in that field. Also, if your question hasn't been answered, post it on the appropriate forum.

27 May, I gave a man blowjob (I don’t know he is HIV+\-). And he ejaculated in my mouth and I swallowed his semen. But unfortunately my mouth health is not good enough. I have tooth problems. 4-5 tooth decay, bleeding gum. 21th day I tested HIV ab/ag and I was negative. But I don’t know anything about window period. How accurate is the test being at 21th? And 28th day I tested again HIV AB/AG and I was negative. But I'm still in window period. I'm trying to forget it.

The CDC collects very detailed HIV related data all the time, as HIV is a mandatory reportable disease in the U.S. The info about oral is just NOT available, which would kind of lead one to believe that's because cases aren't being reported. For example. occupational exposures overall are considered low risk, and account for a small number of reported cases, but there is data out there about who got infected, where, when and how. That data leads to statistics being born.

I used chembio HIV self-testing tool, and the results were negative for 10 weeks. Did I probably not get infected?

Symptom has nothing to do with HIV. If you and wife never tested for HIV it might be smart to do so.

hello, u say that i should get tested regularly... do you mean that i should get tested because of the thing that i explained in my previous message... or should i get tested if i do such risky stuff in general?? thank for your time...

It was on a Monday and that Thursday I noticed red bumps on my penis I initially thought it was herpes but was googling std rashes and HIV was one of the stds that came up. I was worried but then noticed the bumps spread to my leg and my arm so then I thought it was poison oak because the day before I noticed the rash I went hiking were poison oak was present and i did urinate while i was hiking. I saw a doctor and she said it was poison oak.
