I have 20 years and I have HIV positive person. I drink medicines already 4 months. I use drugs Truvada and Efavirenz Teva. Please tell me how to code your disease treated? Whether you are at injection instead of pills?
Are there still any evidence of efavirenz teratogenicity in human studies especially on the neuro tube defect
1 hours ago I had protected sex with a sex worker which ended with a failed condom(punched) and then hour later i went to consult doctor and he prescribed EFAVIRENZ and LAMZID.AM I STIL SAFE?
Since that time, he is receiving HAART with lamivudine-zidovudine-efavirenz twice daily, but he told me that there are some days ( at maximun 3) that he does not take the pills, but most days of the month he is adhering to the treatment. His current viral load is 39,000 copies/ml.
When I realized of him diagnosis, I went to a doctor who gave me profilaxis about 18 hours post-exposure with lamivudine-zidovudine.
Is it possible that my friends step-daughter has a crush on him? My friend married a year ago but lived w/his wife 6 or so months before he married. My friends wife has a 13/14 year old daughter who looks every bit of 16. She's very pretty, tall, physically well built and smart in school. Me and other friends have noticed things like, she's clingy, kinda touchy and this summer when a bunch of us went swimming, she played w/him in the pool.
I am an HIV + male. 43 on truvada/ efavirenz for 2 year with a count of minus 20(undetectable). I was penetrated twice last week where the condom broke and was NOT replaced. The "top" partner is aware of my hiv status. What are the chances of infection for him and apart from testing what should be done? I am otherwise very healthy, no cuts, blood or aparent bruising was detected. I am freaking out for him.
My doctor recently put me on a combination of drugs for PEP, the drugs are lamzid and efavirenz and have very serious side effects. My exposure was licking/sucking a nipple of a non-pregnant HIV positive person. No milk came or blood came out but just had an after taste in my mouth. The act was for 2-3 seconds. What are my chances of getting HIV and are the reported cases of infection in adults, cause I know with babies you can.
So I didn’t know what forum to go to so here goes: I have a crush on a guy at my work place and sometimes it’s just simple things like I would daydream that he would stand next to me and talk to me and stuff like that, but I guess the question would be: would it be weird of me to write a story about me and him? Because I did actually dream about him and I kinda feel like a creep looking at him at work and he does know about my crush on him so......yeah. Anyone?
I had a HUGE crush on my 7th grade English teacher :) I changed schools at mid-year and then came back the next year and was totally over it. It is normal. It will pass and you will crush on someone else. Try to focus on your school work.
Well, the problem is the crush in general. When someone has a crush on another, it is almost impossible to be "simple friends". Maybe if he were completely in love with someone, it would work better. But I think he is being safe here and I think it is probably the right thing to do. Have you told your boyfriend that you've had a crush on this guy up until two weeks ago (and he liked you back) and that you are pursuing a friendship with him? What does he say about it?
Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question.
Since you are under care with PEP drugs, that doctor or clinic really ought to be the primary source of information about your risk, follow-up plans, etc. Therefore, my comments are brief.
Based on HIV infected persons' sexual histories of when and how they were infected, a CDC study calculated a risk of 1 HIV infection for every 10,000 episodes or performing fellatio on infected partners.
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?
Hi all,
I have been on a combination of PEP drugs for the past week, the drugs are lamzid and efavirenz. 2 days after taking the drugs I started growing ulcers on my mouth (which has happened before) and I think one in my anus. Could this mean that I am HIV positive? I am very scared. My exposure was sucking a nipple of a woman for less than 2 seconds.
On AUGUST 19TH and AUGUST 20TH, I started taking ARVs which doctor prescribed. (Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300mg, Lamivudine USP 600mg, Efavirenz USP 200mg). ARVs made me dizzy, so I stoppped on AUGUST 21ST and AUGUST 22ND. After the viral load result, I started ARVs again. One pill everyday regularly.
4. On AUGUST 29th, I gave blood sample for PCR-HIV QUALITATIVE: (Performed using the Roche COBAS Ampliprep/COBAS Taqman HIV-1 Qualitative Version 2.0 assay.) It turned out negative.
You should ask your doctor or pharmacist this question.
I did find:
ciprofloxacin
Do not split, crush or chew the tablet. Tell your healthcare provider if you can not swallow the tablet whole. Take CIPRO Oral Suspension in the morning and evening at about the same time each day. ... Do not split, crush or chew the tablet.
metronidazole
Metoprolol should be taken with food or just after a meal. A Toprol XL tablet can be divided in half if your doctor has told you to do so.
My doctor wants me to take one tablet a day of Potassium ER 20. I need to crush it to take it as the pill is too large due to a lap band. I cannot take anything that has a fizz in it due to my lap band. The pharmacist said it was ok to crush it and my doctor knows that I need to do this. Is there something else out there for me to use? A liquid that doesn't fizz? Or is crushing this ok? I crush it then put it in my mouth then swish it down with water. I have not had any stomach issues.
I was given pep (efavirenz+ tenofovir + lamivudine) for 28 days after 48 hours. But I had it for 29 days instead. Now after 57 days I am having flu like symptoms. Runny nose and a bit of sore throat. No fever though. And my abdominal hurts a bit and a little joint pain..
1. What are my chances of contracting hiv from this fingering exposure?
2. Is pep successful if taken at 48 hours of exposure.?
3. Do i need testing? I was tested negative at baseline.
They took my blood test only as a ground zero (for later comparisons). Then doctor prescribed me Zilarvir (2 tablets a day) and Efavirenz (1 tablet a day) to take them one (1) month. The medicines arrived at 15:00 (3:00 PM) and I took both - 17 hours after the incident and high risk exposure.
Doctor told me to come after one month when they will take a new blood test and follow-up.
I am on 300 mg of lamivudine (1 time before bed) 600 mg of efavirenz (1 time before bed) and 300 mg tenofovir (1 time before bed), How effective this for PEP? I am not sure coz I went for an emergency ward which may not have expert on HIV infection. Also I read the label it said for PEP purpouse lamivudine should be used as 150 mg twice daily. Am I right?
After 29 hours of exposure, I took Zifam Eletec (Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300mg+Lamivudine 300mg+Efavirenz 600mg) and I had been taking it regularly at the same exact time every day (30 days course) which ended on Jan 27, 2022.
1. For my case, may I know the HIV infection risk/possibility for my exposure (because the HIV status of that female is unknown and contact time is short)?
2.
Crush the tablet and mix in a teaspoon of water or anything alike and swallow. It's safe. Used usually in case children who find it hard to swallow anti biotic tabs.
7 yrs ago i had an accident which resulted in a muscle crush injury to the back of the knee. I still have many problems with it after all these years. In cold, damp weather it aches and becomes swollen, retains water so becomes puffy and i find myself tripping over more as my leg feels wooden at times. Is there anything that can be done to ease this and why am i still having these problems after 7years.
