atripla

Avatar m tn Atripla is not a good choice then.
Avatar m tn Atripla is not the first line drug for nPEP and it's not given for a month.
Avatar m tn HI DOCTOR. I HAVE BEEN SEXULA RELATION WITH ONE GIRL USING CANDOM BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE CONDOM EXPLOSED DURING ACTION.
Avatar m tn I started her with a drug called ATRIPLA about 50 hours after exposure. What are her chances of getting infected for HIV and how effective is Atripla in Preventing it?? What is the success rate of ATRIPLA??
Avatar n tn I took that to a specialist who saw the test, looked me over and gave me Atripla to start to be safe. She also sent me off for more tests, elisa and others. I also now took a PCR DNA thats not back yet. I went to a free clinic that gave me a rapid test that came up negative. I am wondering if four days now of Atripla could cause that to be negative? I am wondering if Atripla after four days will make my DNA PCR test invalid?
Avatar n tn I went 30 hrs after my exposure to the hospital and they gave me PEP (1 combivir and 2 kaletra twice per day) coming back to my country after 3 days i forgot the pills that i bought in switzerland and the doctor here suggested i take 1 atripla pill instead every night !!! do you think this is feasible ( what is your assessment to the situation?!
181575 tn?1250198786 Atripla is a drug used to treat HIV. It actually consists of 3 drugs, emtricitabine and tenofovir (which also works against HBV) and efavirenz (doesn't work against HBV). Combination treatment is common practice for HIV so they combine multiple drugs into 1 pill. Of course Atripla is NOT an FDA approved therapy for HBV. Sometime in the future when the standard practice is combo treatment for HBV, they will combine entecavir and tenofovir into 1 pill and call it XcalibR 300.
Avatar n tn This should be immediately discussed by a doctor where he shall assess the risk and run a few tests for liver and kidney functions before he takes your pills.
Avatar n tn She gave me an Elisa HIV fulll STD panel Hep ABC, Epstein Barr test and a prescription for Atripla didnt fill til after the test. All tests came up negative, Took Atripla for 5 days and when neg test I stopped. I took a DNA PCR HIV test at time, negative but after 5 days of Atripla. My Epstein Barr was active high so possible. But not new or acute infection. Symptoms now have continued for a month, very severe, very painful. Going to take my 2 month Elisa and DNA test next week 7/17.
1012649 tn?1256229718 Ya, I thought the same, even the nurse said the same thing, but he wanted to see if I became resistant to anyone of the ingredients in atripla...but today I went back to the clinic and my viral load is back to being undectable,and this was before I started to use sustiva and truvada, so it was only just a BLIP!!! The doc did say he will put be back on Atripla...buthave to finish these tabs first.
1470597 tn?1286869087 Thank you for your response.While waiting for your reply,I found out that the Murex test involves a monoclonal Ab(MAb not mab) which is a highly specific Ab produced by a lab. grown cell clone either of a hybridoma or a virus-transformed lymphocyte.A 4th generation test simply tests for Ab and p24 Ag,has a high sensitivity and a high rate of FP.It's all about specificity vs. sensitivity.And,yes,it would be nice for my friend to get all his lab results when he requests them.
Avatar m tn I had neuro syphilis (rash, lost some hearing stage 2 i believe it was) about 2 years ago and went on atripla at that time. There was a few months (from December 2012 until about June 2013) i was off the meds due to my insurance/cost etc. Back in October 2012 i had all my blood was negative for syphilis and all numbers were great.
Avatar m tn 01 Dec 2012 i went to doctor and he took my elisa test which was negative and he suggested me to take trustiva ( atripla ) for next 3 months and do my elisa again. then i went to other doctor and he said how the first doctor can put u on trustiva ( atripla ) as ur result elisa test is negative.... so i have stopped trustiva ( atripla ) after 4 ays of consumption ( 4 tablets ) ... have i done right by stopping trustiva ( atripla ) .... Pls give me ur valuable advice and suggestions..
Avatar f tn I switched a couple years ago to Complera for a brief period that gave me severe depression and worse anxiety so had to stop it too and go back to Atripla. Now I am on beta blockers for the tachycardia, Xanax to help sleep, and Cialis because of the effect the beta blockers have on libido. And I still feel lousy. My labs are good but shouldn't I just switch meds could all this be due to the Atripla?
Avatar m tn Some feedback on the side effects you guys have experienced with both Atripla and the Truvada, Norvir and Rayotaz combo would be much appreciated. One of my fears of this combo is sunken cheeks or the "sick look". Any benefits experienced and or advice would also be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn My husband was diagnosed in dec after a 5day stay in hospital discharged as neg but tild to call doc in 3days some blood work was not ready. Ehen we called they told him to go seea doc they started him on atripla. He is doing fine but he says he is neg the test r wrong. I don't want to sound stupid but since I am still neg I recently started to wonder if he is right.
Avatar n tn I called my doctor and told him this information and he encouraged me to keep taking Atripla for the full 30 days, just to be safe.He said that if a healthcare worker comes into contact with spilled blood and they don't know the status of the person whose blood it is, they will take this pill for 30 days. That said, I don't want to be on this medication if I don't have to be.
Avatar f tn Yeah, what hab63380 said. Just because you pee in a cup everytime does not mean they're drug testing you, its just to check your sugar. They drug tested me my first lab and if its positive, they will do another in the future. If not, they dont do it again. You can always ask your doctor.
Avatar m tn Drug tests vary, and many are very reliable...but, I'm going to give you some advice. No addict should be in a relationship (unless married) for a year after they enter recovery. Getting clean is hard enough without juggling a relationship as well. Random drug tests and wondering about her behavior is no way to live.
1707536 tn?1334974077 In order to qualify for a clinical trial they give drug tests during the screening process and on each visit. Does anyone know if tranquilizers are tested for. The is REALLY important for me to know ASAP...thanks.
Avatar n tn Drug is a drug is a drug.
Avatar m tn That might depend on what dosage you are on. The lower dosage shouldn't show up at all while the highest dose may show up with trace amounts. At any of the dosages the amount of steroid you are getting is so small and the medicine goes directly where it is needed that very little if any can make it into your blood streem. I assume you are wanting to know for sports reasons, there would be absolutely no issue with Advair on an employment test. Asthma steroids are corticosteroids.

Avatar f tn Hi community! I need your help. I'm so worried about the possibility of hiv transmission and it is causing an extreme amount of anxiety. On April 2, about 5 am I had protected sex where the condomn ripped but he had not ejaculated. We stopped and I immediately had him take an oralquik swab test which came out negative. On April 13, we saw each other again and only had mutual masturbation. I performed oral sex on him with no ejaculation.
Avatar m tn I was on Atripla (with Tenofovir) and my hip bone became nearly inoperable. It affected my bones big time. Since then, I was told I had Periodontal Disease, but I don't believe it's a disease. My teeth are spotless. I floss twice daily and brush gently. I never drink soda or candy. I even gave up on alcohol. I think it's an issue of digestion and food quality. GMOs surfaced in our foods in 1996.
