Hi,
I had gay anal sex with an anonymous person, but the condom broke, so I went to an ER and was prescribed PEP (Truvuda and Isentress). The pharmacist told me that I have to be extremely meticulous about taking the pills on time (Truvuda every 24 hours at around 7:30pm, and Isentress every 12 hours at both 7:30pm and 7:30am.
I set my alarm for 7:30am to take the Isentress.
I had a risk exposure and had a base hiv test 4th gen ab/ag 25 hours after pep or after 2 truvadas and 3 isentress. Could this affect the negative result of the base test? Is the base test considered conclusive? The only risk exposure is no longer since the other party hiv test was negative and the exposure was low risk.
Thanks for your help...
When I got home, I washed my hand with soap and applied rubbing alcohol. About 2 weeks later, I caught a panic attack and ended up in the ER. They ran all the test on me and thanks God, everything came back negative. I later went to my doctor and he prescribed me truvada and isentress which was about a month later after the " incident". To be honest, I have no clue how I got the cut but I am scared of what could happen.
I had a sexual encounter and they have put me on truvada and isentress for 4 weeks. It is one week over but I have very bad stomach. I usually have a chronic gastritis due to helyco bacter that I have not managed so far to get rid of.
My doctor said I could take Nexium 20 which is my usual medication for this matter but to try no to take it everyday beacaus of interaction with isentress but he is gone on vacation now and I have a really upset stomach and I dont know what to do.
I cant believe I just got over a scare and now this! My pep meds are Truvada and Isentress. The docotor said these were the best drugs with the least side effects but after reading things online the side effects sound like thiese drugs can really screw me up? Is anyone familiar with these - does everyone have these side effects? Are these drugs as damaging as HIV and should I stay on them? Is there any chance of me living through this??
Upon sobering up the next day I panicked and went to the Bumrungrad International Hospital to see a doctor. He proscribed an HIV PEP regimen of Isentress and Truveda which I have been taking now for 8 days. I have experienced some diarrhoea and stomach problems. I have felt fatigued, but this could be attributed to jet lag. I am back in Canada now. I accepted the medication without thinking much about it, but since getting home and researching this medicine I am starting to have some questions.
t notice It was cold out and my eye was tearing so I wiped It later I looked at my hand and noticed blood stains on it and then looked at my face that also had blood from wiping my eye I went to the er and they game me truvada and isentress and a week later the raining pills today I was working and got a needle stuck in me from a patient I transport the red bio cases for that has needles in them were I dispose of it.
I'm on truvada and isentress I have 14 days left due to the condom breaking I asked the guy to take a or a quick test when it broke I went to CVS and bought it...he tested positive... I was on pep 4 hours afterwards...
Hello - I understand that oral with a person who is HIV+ is low risk, but would it be a good idea to take PEP anyway? My concern is the side effects of the Isentress and Truvada combination. I have the medication, but if infection is very highly unlikely, I think I shouldn't. Friends are telling me not to worry and doctor says it is up to me (which I know). Opinions?
ll be the instance of acquiring HIV with such superficial and brief possible penetration. I began PEP treatment (Truvada and Isentress) within 48 hours. He never ejaculated throughout the night and I didn't feel pre cum at any time but I know that doesn't mean pre cum wasn't there.
Am I at potential risk for HIV transmission given he fingered me and may have caused potential tiny cuts combined with the brief/minimal possibility of penetration?
27 day ago i had a condom broke in a glory hole in an anal encounter being i the receptive (pasive, bottom???) and the other man finish (cum???) inside me..... In 4 hour i start PEP with Truvada + Isentress. I dont know the other man vih status. Today 27 days later i've do a DUO TEST (combo) with antigen p24 + vih +vih2. Results are NEGATIVE, but, is this results decisives????? May PEP delay a positive result. Can i have a breath with this result????
m sorry English is not my native language, I had sex with 20 or more with csw in the last 3 years all proctected Virginal sex and some unprotected oral sex, on March 13 I fingered csw with a small cut on my index finger felt little burn after contact with virginal fluid I was scared and went to the clinic doctor put me on pep Truvada and isentress for 28 days first week was mild side effects second week muscle aches on legs and abdominal pain dry mouth and white tongue it could be thrush, after
I had a gay massage 3 weeks ago. The man who gave me a massage kissed and "fingered" me a few times and later on he "sat" on me. The penetration lasted about 10 seconds before I pulled out, and needless to say it was unprotected. Within 3 hours, I saw my doctor to discuss and he said my risk is low, but because it was unprotected sex with a gay sex worker, there is still a risk. He put me on truvada + isentress.
I am currently taking truvada and isentress (raltegravir) is this enough I couldn't get my prescription for dolutegravir filled...is this pep enough?
