sustiva

Avatar f tn I've had HIV for several years, luckily it was caught early. I started meds fairly soon after. I started Atripla in 2010. It got be undetectable quickly and has kept that way. I never had major bad side effects on it. I did have some crazy dreams and still do. After I was on it for a couple years, things began to slowly deteriorate. I began getting panic attacks, and bouts of tachycardia and palpitations. I had a history of those but it seemed to get worse.

Avatar m tn Please stop with the nonsense if you even had hiv you would be seeing an hiv specialist
Avatar m tn I haven't yet found reason for my symptoms. I have negative HIV antibody test result at 16 weeks mark and still have palpable lymph nodes in my neck,under jaw and in my groins. I had a rash on my forehead after exposure and my girlfriend has the same rash now. She also has persistent headaches and stomach aches. I am so scared especially when I see cases like this from the Body: False positive or false negative?
Avatar n tn I just finished my first week of PEP. The side effects are quite severe, but I somehow found a way to arrange with it. Besides, 28 days seem more than okay if it really helps preventing a whole life on anti-viral drugs. But what I still couldn't figure out is the efficacy of PEP after a "non-occupational" exposure. My risk was unprotected vaginal with a high risk person (though no confirmed to be positive). I started PEP within 55.5 hours. Dr.
3191940 tn?1447268717 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.
3191940 tn?1447268717 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.
Avatar n tn i had unprotected sex with my partner many times (+- 10) without knowing he was hiv+ . we were together for 5 months since october 2007. i tested negative in dec 2006 and in dec 2007, we did not have anal sex, we did have unprotected oral and vaginal sex no eyaculation though, the last test was 33 days after the last high risk exposure (vaginal unprotected sex) and was negative , ( axsym abbott MEIA) i´m so scared, i´m living a nightmare ....... i just want to know what are the odds......
Avatar m tn 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.
1318465 tn?1614894302 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.
480448 tn?1426948538 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).
207091 tn?1337709493 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
480448 tn?1426948538 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.
Avatar f tn I used chembio HIV self-testing tool, and the results were negative for 10 weeks. Did I probably not get infected?
Avatar m tn Symptom has nothing to do with HIV. If you and wife never tested for HIV it might be smart to do so.
Avatar m tn 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...
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn Hello "Yada, yada, yada" is correct. You are freaking out excessively. The answer to your question is: no they don't sound HIV related. In fact they don't sound anything STD related. The chance that you were infected with an STD is low. Take your negative chlamydia and gonorrhea tests as conclusive. Let's stay that way. I sense your anxiety, so I'll try to help you. But after this any other posts about HIV should be put up in the HIV community forum.
