I was also a reciever. After 40 hours I went to the first clinic and they gave me PEP (TenofovirDF, emtricitabine + lamivudine). The clinic looks very unprofessional, but it was my only chance. I didn't do any hiv or std test, a month before the exposure i had HIV test which was negative. After few days I had a mild sore throat, i still have it, i don't have fever, running nose, rash or anything else. My questions are..
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.
What are my chances of getting infected. Another question was administered a PEP drug emtricitabine and tenofovir, can it prevent me from contracting HiV.
FTC is Emtricitabine.
This is a potential concern because the drugs in Truvada – tenofovir and emtricitabine – are active against HBV as well as HIV.
HIV and HBV are spread through some common transmission routes, including sexual transmission, vertical transmission (mother to child) and via multi-person use of injection equipment.
I asked her of her status and she stated clean. I started PEP within 24 hours. (Teneogovir, emtricitabine, lamivudine ) What are the odds of being infected ? is this low risk ?
I started a course of PEP that included Tenvor-EM (Indian version Emtricitabine/Tenofovir DF) and Kaluvia (generic of lopinavir/retonavir) for 25 days and interrupted it for two reasons:
1-My partner tested Negative(Antigen/ Antibody) on 22 days post exposure
2-Thinking that i might be developing facial Lipodystrophy (slight facial fat loss under cheek bones). I cant tell if my face was like this before the treatment or it is just an illusion.
Hi, I had a mammogram Aug 27th which that the small node I have had for years has grown. Two days later I had an ultrasound that shows a hypoechoic structure deep within the chest wall and has a hyperechoic notch to it with an appeappearance of a benign lymph node but does not correlate with the position of the mammogram. Given the findings of this ultrasound and enlargemnt of the density on the mammogram biopsy is recommended. My question is would you take it out completely?
t know very much about the molecular structure. I find it a bit hard to understand, but I get pieces of it.
This one seemed more concise then the the last one I sent you.

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....
m thinking about taking Tenofovir only because I will move to a place where Emtricitabine is not available. I know it is better to combo. But can you tell me how risky it is if I take tenofovir only (LAM resistance)? stef2011?
truvada is just tenofovir+ftc, it is sueless on hbv unless non response to tenofovir, which is extremely rare
it adds toxicity and higher price because truvada patent is not expiring in 2014, no difference on hbsag.
instead of truvada it is best only for those non responding to combo tenofovir+lamivudine.
the second component is unchanged, 200mg of emtricitabine, also called FTC, a fluor substituted form of Lamivudine, that provides protection from the development of mutants that will lower the responsiveness to tenofovir.
it's side effects are generally considered very mild, equivalent to lamivudine.
This is theoretically good news for hbv patients waiting eagerly for TAF to be available for HBV.
The problem is the high price: 1500$ for one month supply of 30 pills.
Within the left ovary is a complex cystic structure measuring 4.4 x 4.8 x 4.5 cm. Some sepatation is present with half of the cystic structure having either dense internal debris or a somewhat solid component. No color flow is appreciated in this abnormal half of the cystic structure. No other mass or lesion or free fluid is present wihtin the left adnexa. This is a nonspecific finding and both benign and malignat etiologies must be considered.
i had a ct scan done the said in the left adnexa there is a structure with 2 cystic areas measuring 12 and 16 mm each and has enhancing perphery i have had a hysterectomy 4 yrs ago what does thids all mean it also states i have several diverticulae in sigmoid colon but no evidence of diverticlitis what does this mean please
My doctor called and told me an irregular cystic structure was found on my left ovary along with a cyst. Could this be an ectopic pregnancy? I have had all the signs of being pregnant. This is frustrating because no one seems to be telling me anything.
My right side of my abdomen was killing me a week later I ended up in the er with severe pain and bleeding. An inner and outer US showed a 6.8cm separated cystic structure and ovarian lesion. I was told to followup with my OBGYN. Which I did. She said to wait 6-8 weeks and do a repeat US. Well I was referred to a new dr. since my old obgyn retired from that practice. The new dr. has been much more sympathetic. I saw her last friday 1/8 and she ordered more blood tests (Ca-125, Ova-1, Estradiol.
You are correct that Truvada is a combination of tenofovir and emtricitabine, and is generally prescribed for patients with HIV. Being a HBV forum, most of us know very little about Truvada except that it is prescribed off-label for HBV by some doctors, and that it is recommended for HBV patients who develop resistance to Tenofovir.
