1 - would PEP be effective even if the source has a high viral load?
2 - After the 28 days, can I drink alcohol?
Thank you very much in advance, I am quite distressed about it.
11,12am), I take hiv block drugs from doctor, these drugs are Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablets , Aluvia (Lopinavir and Ritonavir Tablets) and Lamivudine Tablets. I have take these drugs for 28 days (until 2013.10.8),at 2013.10.9(1 day after taking drugs) , I have take a HIV Duo or Combo (4th generation) test and the result is negative .
so, I want to know
1. Could these drugs delay the hiv window period , so that the combo tese was not correct?
2.
What is my overall risk of acquiring HIV, taking in consideration all that I have described above?.
Thank you very much in advance.
So, I am at the 15th day of my pep regime and have been strictly adhering to the program till today. I have been taking lopinavir ritonavir along with tenofovir. I am taking 2pills twice for the first one and one pill once a day for tenofovir. Today my bottle of rito/lopi finished after I took my first dose. I went to the doc clinic which was closed and he says i can only get the meds tomorrow.
Zidovudine and Lamivudine Tablets ,Lopinavir/RitonavirOral Solution .i want to know ,will it work?how much percent will i avoid being infected?thank you all!
Good afternoon. There is a double-acting drugs - lamivudine, emtricitabine, tenofovir. This is known. Are there any similar action in the protease inhibitor, such as Kaletra (lopinavir) for example?
Have you ever thought about that?
I read - sometimes laugh. Simvastatin, vitamin D, which the Chinese poeben, mythical new drugs, masturbation with measurements of the level of HBsAg, and other nonsense....
My PEP course consists of 150/300mg of Lamivudine/Zidovudine (Zovilam) and 400mg/100mg of Lopinavir/Ritonavir (Kaletra) taken every 12 hours for 30 days. I have just taken my third dosage.
My concerns and questions:
1. The doctor in the ER told me that my risk of HIV infection is extremely low, but if I wanted to be safe I could agree to a PEP course, which I did. She also told me there were some side effects. My question is how low was my risk in terms of percentages or numbers?
Hi everyone, I have take a PEP treatment for 25 days, which included Lopinavir&Ritrnonavir & Truvada.
I have had diarrhea, anxiety, sleepless nights, depression, numbness in hands and legs, while using these
medications. Its been a week i stopped the medication and all my HIV tests have been negative so far.
Has anyone read the news that came out yesterday about hpv treatment with the Lopinavir drug?
It shows some promising results so I'd like to get anyone's take on this.
A 12 years old girl had a blood transfusion with hiv blood, she took PEP( tenofovir, emtricitabine, ritonavir-boosted darunavir (subsequently changed to lopinavir) and raltegravir) after 24 hours and had these PEP for three months. This girl also has cssr5 dna which is a dna that hard to infect hiv. After 8 months, she had a negative result on HIV RNA and HIV ag/ab test. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4226216/).
Kaletra is a protease inhibitor it is a combination of 2 drugs, Ritonavir and Lopinavir. What is the other drug names?
stop lamivudine immediately or switch to tenofovir, it is decades now lamivudine is not used because it can lead to cytopatic hbv mutations that cannot be control with any medication leading to cancer and cirrhosis despite hbsag negative, hbvdna undetectable and normal ast-alt, another reason not to use lamivudine is that it is even totally useless on hbv
the hbsag of the virus mutates to a form where the virus destroy cells directly even without replication
hbv cure is achieved only by sequen
Without taking any drugs, viral load was 22,000 in september 2009. 46,000 in december 2009. Doctor recommended lamivudine in January. Took lamivudine and by June 2010, viral load was undetected. have read in many forums that lam is not the best, approached my doctor with this concern and she sugessted tenofovir. Should i start tenofovir immediately, how should i start. Should i just abruptly stop lam and move on to tenofovir, should i use both and gradually stop lam after a few day/weeks.
A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effect of ABT-450, Ritonavir and ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267) and ABT-333 Coadministered With Ribavirin (RBV) in Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotype 1-infected Adults With Compensated Cirrhosis. (TURQUOISE-II)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effect of ABT-450, ritonavir and ABT-267 (ABT-450/r/ABT-267) and ABT-333 coadministered with ribavirin (RBV) in HCV genotype 1-infected adults with compensated cirrhosis.
This study has to do with an HIV retroviral medication, if used on HPV patients, it might cure them. The drug is already produced, called lopinavir, however we need to make a topical version that is more potent:

You might also want to look into a antiviral drug recently produced by MIT called DRACO. It sounds very promising but needs to be tested on actual humans.
Hepatic decompensation was not prevented by lamivudine compared to placebo or entecavir compared to lamivudine in three underpowered trials.
Hepatocellular carcinoma was not prevented in four studies with inadequate size and duration. In one RCT, analysis that adjusted for country, sex, baseline ALT level, Child-Pugh score, and Ishak fibrosis score and excluded five individuals who developed HCC within the first year of the study found a borderline significant effect of lamivudine.
I think i realised in 2/3 stroke, but for safer side we consider 2/4 mins, i was exposed in her. After i was on PEP (lopin avoir/Ritonavir+ Lamivudine 300mg and Tenofovir). I complète my PEP almost 3 weeks back. During all this périod i have read tons of messages. .was thinking not write. But since i complete my PEP, i am having high symtomps like lymph node in groin with Minor pain. Lower abdominal pain. Till date i am having fatigue and joint pain.
10.300 copies/ml . I got lamivudine 100 mg /day vitamine E 4oo ui /day, orange juice everyday 50 cc/day ,and others fruits,2 months later my blood test showed DNA/HBV/PCR negative (<200 copies ),checked regularly every 3 months untill now still negative level. SGPT 75- 90 ui/ml constantly,never down a normal range,since 2008 March untill now. HBsAg negative level ,HBsAb negative level ,others test are normal levels .Is i got recovery from Hepatitis B ?
I have tested positive to Hbsag for more than a year now. I was placed on lamivudine, methionine and essential forte. d doctor never ask me to do viral load test anytime I see him he do ask me to do LFT and subject me to d early medications I listed. so a friend advice me to go teaching hospital were I can see a specialist. my question here is now that I have been on medication for a year without knowing my viral load what is d implication ?
m now under retro-viral treatment (Abacavir, 3TC Lamiduvina, and Efavirenz TM as known in my country), healthy, fit, high CD4 count, undetectable viral load. Recently, I met a person, we kissed and we practiced oral sex on each other. Eventhough I know my condition, and have always tried to avoid people practice fellation on me, he insisted and at the end I agreed. Now, I am really concerned about him. Could he have been infected? Should I tell him to test for HIV?
