So I had a discussion with my doctor yesterday regarding the recent elevation in my AST, ALT ( about 1.5 x ULN). I am LAM resistance, on Truvada for almost 2 years now. Everything else (HBV DNA undetectable, ultrasound ok, CBC, fibroscan + all other stuff i have no idea) came back normal. AST + ALT was in normal range all the time but 3 months recently have been up a bit.
She advised me to continue monitoring my condition and warn me about possible resistance.
I'm taking Truvada now for almost 2 years (Undetectable HBV DNA, e antigen still positive, lam resistance).
Can I switch to Baraclude? It will be easier for my budget since it cost way less coz' I'm planning on moving back home. I'm in the US.
Any possible resistance or virus breakthrough if I decided to switch therapy?
absolutely off label, one might even think about truvada plus immune globulins plus vaccine since truvada has been used after transplant to prevent reinfection and it worked on 100% persons
it would be interesting to see a study on antivirals to prevent hbv after exposure but i guess it would be too difficult to make such a study and especially to find the subjects so transplantation might be the closest to this situation considering transplant recepients have a worst situation because they hav
Yesterday, I took 1 Truvada at 7am but since I was in a hurry after dinner, I accidentally took one more Truvada last night. I tried to vomit it up but I was able to vomit only a part (dissolved part) of it. Because of panic, I forgot to take Kaletra last night. I rushed to the A&E and asked the doctor's advice on what to do. Since I waited for more than 3 hours before I was able to see the doctor, I was already drowsy when the doctor talked to me.
Since the chances a quite low Can I stop taking pep or can I stop kaletra and remain with truvada take it upto 28days.coz kaletra gives me diarrhea.
I'll start 1st by saying I'm a gay male who sought out Truvada as PrEp as a way to further eliminating my risk of HIV. Late October 2015 I sought out an infectious disease Dr who was knowledgeable of Truvada as Prep. Prior to him giving a prescription I was required to have a full blood panel along with a HIV test also screened for Hepatitis. This is when I discovered I was Infected with Chronic HBV. I had elevated alt & ast as well as a viral load in the millions.
How can I change from taking Truvada in the noon to taking Truvada at midnight? For instance, should I do two doses of Truvada in one 24 hour period or should I do no doses in one 24 hour period to get it right?
3. When the doctors prescribed the medication I ended up taking 4x the recommended dose of Aluvia. This was due to me having received four cans of Aluvia,not realizing that each can was meant to last 1 week.
I am looking to speak with anyone taking the med combo of Norvir, Truvada, and Reyetaz. Wondering if anyone has noted side affects of these drugs....
Will truvada and and a respiratory antibiotics have interqction/ side effects if simultaneously on both medicine?
or which antibiotics and safe with truvada for respiratory infection?
If anyone has any knowledge of how pep works my infectious disease doctor wasn't really clear to me about how many hours I should wait apart from taking the pep I take isentsress twice daily and truvada once daily for 25 more days the first three days I took isenstress one at 12 pm then one at four pm with truvada I'm now worried I'm not taking them the right way because I heard you have to give them 12 hours apart so now I'm going to take one at ten am tomorrow then one at ten p
Hi Dr,I had unprotected sex with a gay three days ago.But atually,he did not totally penetrate me,just penetrated half of his balanus with less than 30 seconds,and then I pull him out,no cum no blooding.Before his penis penetrate me,he sucked my anus and penetrate me with his finger for minutes.
I am worried about his precum and maybe the penetration cause tiny wound in my anus.It's the first time I tried to be bottom.And yesterday I terribly find haemorrhoids around my anus.
Do you recommend the truvada over the viread or baraclude? If while being switched from Hepsera to truvada is there a risk that the Hep B could become active? Also , the Hepatitis B DNA is currently undetectable and the Hep B Surface AG is currently negative (both prior to transplant as well as post transplant, so far ) what are the chances that the Hep B could become active again once the Hbig infusions are stopped? Thank you.
I am a gay male and have taken Truvada as PrEP daily since last November.
This past week, I ran out of my Truvada after taking it on Tuesday morning. Prior to that, I had taken it daily for more than a month. I did not take Truvada on Wednesday or Thursday. I changed insurances and wanted to wait to pick up my refill until I got my copay and assistance straightened out.
On Friday I had anal sex as the bottom with a man I know who says he is negative.
has anyone been prescribed Truvada? If so I would like to know how you are doing with it? and if it is helping your hepatitis b? I have stage 4 kidney disease. My hepitologist just prescribed this med. My labs were not good. He hopes to get the virus under control so I can possibly get a kidney transplant. This would be a kidney from a cadaver donator, someone who had hepatitis b. So I am about to begin my journey.
He did not ejaculate in me, not sure if there was precum, and not sure how long it had been broken, the exposure was between 5-10mins. Now I'm freaking out that i have HIV. The guy said hes HIV negative and was tested 2 weeks ago but im still freaking out.
I went to an urgent care and they prescribed me truveda for 30 days. When I got home and looked up PEP, it says its usually Truavda in combination with a mix of other drugs.
