Avatar m tn I am diagnosed with chronic Hep B and on Truvada for more than 5 years now. The disease is under control and virus is almost undetectable. I am going on business trip to a country where Hep B vaccine is a requirement for the visa. Can I take Hep B vaccine? Will it cause me any harm? Will vaccine interact with Truvada and have any side effect? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thnaks.
Avatar m tn In my situation had it not been for seeking Truvada I would not have discovered my hep b infection due to all the test that are required prior to a prescription being written. Once I was tested & discovered my hep b infection I wanted a second opinion if I should take Truvada. That's why I visited a Hepatologist the same week affiliated with another medical center.

Avatar m tn What happens in some of the Hep B positive individuals is that after stopping HIV PEP, there comes to Hep B flare (ALT/AST gets very high) but this flare usually comes and goes. Basically the conclusion was to go with HIV PEP (if PEP was really indicated - in my case docs said it wasn't needed but I still took it due to my HIV paranoia). I tested ALT/AST 2 weeks after stopping PEP, and again 3 months after stopping it, and it was same as it was before - no flare.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with chronic HBV back in Dec 2014. I was given Truvada (Prep) for treatment. I have taken it daily for 4.5 years and my viral load down has remained dormant and the HBV undetectable. Recently, I moved to a new city and my new job does not offer insurance. I cannot afford the medication without insurance as it is very expensive. Is there a chance my body could have rid itself of HBV during these 4.5 years?
Avatar n tn I am a hepatitis B patient currently taking the HIV anti-viral drug Truvada. My hep B is very controlled right now and its viral loads undetectable. I was wondering if my situation suggest a possible infection and whether Truvada can possibly influence the symptoms somehow.
Avatar n tn After I started working, a doctor refer me to see a specialist and she suggested me taking Truvada to treat my Hep B. I have been taking it for almost a year now and it's been showing improvements. (Before I started, I have been having infections for awhile). Though, I can't find any result on how people react to Truvada. At times, I felt the doctor has not been completely truthful with me about the drug which is still at it's experimental stage.
Avatar f tn has anyone been prescribed Truvada? If so I would like to know how you are doing with it? and if it is helping your hepatitis b? I have stage 4 kidney disease. My hepitologist just prescribed this med. My labs were not good. He hopes to get the virus under control so I can possibly get a kidney transplant. This would be a kidney from a cadaver donator, someone who had hepatitis b. So I am about to begin my journey.
Avatar m tn and im sure theres lots of people taking truvada who would want to know. and i wasnt asking if truvada helps with corona virus. i was asking if it inhibits your ability to fight it off.
Avatar f tn Its almost 9 week ago, I was exposed to uprotected vaginal sex with sexworker and technically uprotected oral sex, as she used a condom for giving me oral sex after that I put another condom on my penis for vaginal sex, both condom break after sex was over or after ejaculation. After that i went to to Doc, he prescribed me Truvada for 28 days. She was tested after a day for Hiv1/2 antibody and p24 antigen thats were negative but she was positive for IGG for HSV1 and HSV2 combined test.
Avatar f tn I d keep truvada until hbvdna undetectable and then switch to viread
Avatar m tn Yesterday, I took 1 Truvada at 7am but since I was in a hurry after dinner, I accidentally took one more Truvada last night. I tried to vomit it up but I was able to vomit only a part (dissolved part) of it. Because of panic, I forgot to take Kaletra last night. I rushed to the A&E and asked the doctor's advice on what to do. Since I waited for more than 3 hours before I was able to see the doctor, I was already drowsy when the doctor talked to me.
Avatar n tn Two days later, my genitals started itching and burning and I got acne on my back, so I went to the doctor, who prescribed PEP (Truvada and Kaletra). This was 62 hours after the encounter. I was on PEP for 30 days. Eight weeks after completing the PEP regimen, I tested negative for all STD's (HIV/Herpes/Hep/Syph/Gon,etc) on November 18. But a week later, I started getting knee pain and muscle aches all over my body (arms, legs, back).
Avatar f tn I have just been diagnosed with hep b recently. They started me on viread. Well, my hep b viral is slowly going down but my liver enzymes is slowly going up. My Dr is really concern and constantly doing blood work on me. I'm about to get a kidney and hiv panel. I've been researching online and it says viread can increase liver enzymes and eventually people have to switch to a new med. my question : what other meds out there like viread and can viread increaSe my liver enzymes.
