The most common side effects of Truvada are the same as with tenofovir (Viread) and emtricitabine (Emtriva). They include headache, nausea, vomiting, rash and loss of appetite. In some people, tenofovir can increase creatinine and transaminases. These are enzymes related to the kidneys and liver. High levels can indicate damage to these organs.
Tenofovir can reduce bone mineral density (see fact sheet 557). Calcium or vitamin D supplements may be helpful.
I'm not ashamed - rather funny. I can offer
conduct a new experiment - measuring the level of HBsAg in response to the mercy of "lice with honey," and all of a sudden?
But if without laughing, I propose to reflect at leisure, there is some anti-HIV drugs, protease inhibitors, a similar effect on HBV, because they act at an earlier stage of virus replication than tenofovir and the like.
1) Is this good combination of drugs (TenofovirDF, emtricitabine + lamivudine), I read somewhere that emtricitabine and lamivudine are the same?
2) Should I do STI test while I'm on PEP?
3) Can the sore throat be some other infection symptoms?
Thank you for your time.
An international study found the antiviral combination of tenofovir and emtricitabine (Truvada) was most effective in treating younger adult hepatitis B patients with high viral load and normal ALT levels.
Doctors historically have not treated this group because there appeared to be no sign of liver damage. However, doctors now know that high viral loads may increase patients’ risk of liver damage and cancer as they age, despite their normal ALT levels.
I recently had protected sex with a lady who was on her menstrual cycle and she is HIV positive. My worry is myt have spilled blood on my penis whilst removing condom. What are my chances of getting infected. Another question was administered a PEP drug emtricitabine and tenofovir, can it prevent me from contracting HiV.
Like Dr. Pernoud stated there is no relationship between altitude and rds or glaucoma.
However, if you've had a pneumatic retinopexy recently w/ SF6 or C3F8 you are not able to go to high altitudes or travel via plane as this will cause an increase in IOP.
Our data highlight the potential of direct innate immunity activation in hepatocytes in the control of HBV replication, and support the recent interest in the development of PRR-based antiviral strategies against HBV. In addition, our data suggest that elucidation of the mode of antiviral action of imiquimod may lead to the identification of a novel target for the treatment of CHB.

Yes he's sure. Oral sex of any type is not a risk of contracting HIV.
t had any symptoms as of yet. I only had a bit of a scratch in my throat on the 24th and the 25th day after the encounter, but that could have been due to too much cold pop and ice cream.
Please give me your opinion as to how risky this encounter was. Should I be worried? He kept on telling me he was 'clean' and didn't have any diseases.
Thank you immensely much for your help! Any insight your might have would be invaluable!
