Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
4529703 tn?1355961841 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....
2069183 tn?1331330038 been positive since 1988, maybe even earlier, didnt start on meds till 2007. Norvir, truvada and reyataz are my friends. My cd4 is 700 and viral load is undetectable. very fortunate to have meds at my disposal. I would advise folks who are positice,please take your meds.
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar m tn If a person is treating with the PI drugs and fails to get SVR.does it mean that you cant use the PI`s ever again.this is what im gathering from what ive been reading ...looks like its do or you know what....man...sometimes i wonder how i deal with all thie stuff.
Avatar m tn Maybe one day they will use the PI as maintenance for the ones who dont respond to SOC and PI drugs.Ive heard of aids people liiving a lot longer now because of the PI`s too.Some are with aids for 25 years and still doing ok. "An apple a day keeps the doctor away, But if the doctor is cute forget the fruit.
751342 tn?1534360021 I knew it would work! They want me to extend out to 52 weeks, though. I already decided to take myself off the study after the 12 weeks of the study drugs. My job is on the line, I start Grad school in the fall, and I've had just about every side effect there is from the SOC drugs. It would have been nice to get the PI in the beginning, but it didn't happen. I was still detectable at week 16 on those 2, and they are the ones causing me to be so sick! OK, done with my rant.
Avatar f tn He was told to do laser PI to prevent the glucoma first. Just wonder if the laser PI is needed and is it will worsen the catarct situation since he plans to have the cataract removed at least 6-9 months later.
232778 tn?1217447111 I was thinking about this recently. If somebody try's a PI, and fails / builds resistance to that PI, then re-infects somebody else in the general population with Hep C - won't the disease gain resistance to that PI? The new mutation could spread, and become the standard for Hep C (given the new resistance, will make it live longer). Are PI's a short term fix, that the virus will eventaully become resistant to?
446474 tn?1446347682 * Boceprevir reduced average trough concentrations of ritonavir-boosted atazanavir (Reyataz), lopinavir (Kaletra), and darunavir (Prezista) by 49%, 43% and 59%, respectively. * On average, reductions of 25% to 36% were seen in peak concentration of the three drugs, when given with boceprevir, along with declines of 34% to 44% in exposure (area under the curve).
Avatar m tn Good article on PI drug treatment regimens by IAmTheWalrus http://www.medhelp.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn If your talking about the third drug being the PI as info they have not been approved for genotype 2, 3 and 4. If you are genotype 1 some insurance companies will initially deny the PI because it is so costly. Your doctor will have to start an appeal process with the insurance company which may take a little time but usually in the end the PI is approved.
Avatar m tn I vote for boceprevir since it has a 4 week lead-in before starting the PI. If you clear in the first 4 weeks of TX, you are responsive to interferon and do not need to add a PI with all its extra side effects and risks.
751342 tn?1534360021 It has been trending downwards, but appears to be slowing down. I am actually hopeful for the PI. This one is a second generation from Teleprevir and Boceprevir, so I think the hope is it is even better than the other 2. I am hoping to see UND at my next visit on the 16th. The good news is I think I will either have good news meanwhile or go off at 28 weeks at most total. I am actually pretty hopeful for the PI to do it's magic.
Avatar m tn Well, to state the obvious, you'd have to have a date for the PI availability in order to time it right. But I wouldn't like to have a tx plan with a date in it that I couldn't trust. However, in general I've wondered too how it would work out to do the PI in the last 4 weeks of tx when the virus is either already dead or on it's last legs, just to make sure and finish it off. That might work well for some potential relapsers.
Avatar f tn Vertex knows this and is working on the second generation of PI. I love this link about all the meds in the pipeline and their status. http://www.hcvdrugs.
1084115 tn?1385228589 t give her the RIBA in addition to the IFN and PI. IDIOTS of all of the people to do that too! She almost got to UND for like the first time with it but......without the riba it did not work. Now she cannot take another PI. Trying to say make SURE you are getting all 3 or seriously reconsider...lI'm pretty sure that was what she took I'll see if I can flag her in an email and see if she can post!
Avatar f tn The Abbvie regimen contains Paritaprevir, which is a PI, so those who have failed in the past with a PI (Telaprevir, Boceprevir, Olysio) should not treat with the Abbvie drugs. Treating with Harvoni is the AASLD recommended way to go. The AASLD guidelines for those who failed with a PI are copied and pasted below. Go towards the bottom and you will see that the AASLD does NOT recommend the Abbvie drug regimen for those who failed with another PI.
