SHOULD I TAKE ISENTRESS AT 7:30AM (which is the normal schedule)? Essentially, I want to know: will having taken a bit extra Isentress hurt me (especially compared to the alternative: waiting until 7:30pm)?
Hello, first excuse my english, i dont speck so much....... but i hope you can understand me.
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?????
I searched couple of papers and i concluded not to double the dose in the case of i used that pill. But i continued my next dose as planned by taking truvada and isentress at the same time.
Although not sure, my question is missing only one dose raltegravir at day 22 could have impact on the efficacy of hiv Pep?
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...
Hi, after being exposed to HIV 15 days ago, I'm on day 14 of PEP (Truvada & Isentress). I wonder if facial lipoatrophy (sunken cheeks, temples, eyes, etc) can develop as early as two weeks of being taking these meds. I'm a male model and I make a living of my face. Last week I was fired from 3 photo-shoots in a row. I don't know if I'm really experiencing facial fat waste, or if my face just reflects all the emotional distress I've been through for the past 2 weeks.
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 began taking truvada and isentress 65 hours after my potential exposure to HIV and I have taken them for 4 days. But I did not take them at the exact same time everyday. But I am sure I was never late or early by more than 1 hour. Will the effectiveness get affected by this? And is 65 hours too late for PEP? How likely will PEP fail in my case???
He creeped me out and I started pep at the 37th hour I completed pep it was hard to adhere to it at first I finished it with a couple isentress missed doses and I completed all the truvada no missed dose. A 5 days after completing I got a sore throat. 3 days later I started to run a temp of 99.1 the max it went was 100.1 my dr gave me a antibiotic for strep throat I am in panicking because I have been calling him to no answer.
PEP is very effective - it should be three drugs -- typically two medications Truvada + Isentress. Mass had a 2 year study where no one on PEP got infected.
Take raltagravir ( isentress ) 400 mg (2 tablets) twice at 12 hours gap morning and evening .and take truveda once in. Evening . Take this treatment for 28 days without stop . Get tested at 4 weeks and 12 weeks post last dose of pep through lab based 4th gen test ( p24 antigen and hiv 1/2) test .
the needle was left on the pen. When I took that shot after my 1st dose of PEP, I didn't took it out and put it back in. I am on Truvada once a day and Isentress twice a day.
48 days before, I had a risk of broken condom with CSW (unknown HIV Status) and started PEP (Tavin-EM and Isentress) at 59th hour. My baseline antibody test and PCR DNA at 60th hour of exposure (after half an hour of first dose of PEP) are negative. I completed PEP for 30 days as my doctor advised.
I have
1). burning eyes - no reddish,
2). back neck stiffness (too much),
3). A kind of sharp pulling pain rarely occurs at my lower abdomen wall muscle even I am not in movement,
4).
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?
m taking Truvada and Isentress for the last 17 days and today I got another possible exposure in the form of a needle stick injury, ive been so stressed I have not be able to work correctly and now have a panicing fear of hiv thinking I will step on needles or be stuck by some crazy person walking in the street.
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?
I panicked and 13 hours later I was at a clinic where I received PEP (Tenvir which is the same as Truvada and Isentress). The doctor told me to take Tenvir once a day for 30 days and Isentress twice a day for 30 days, I want to know what is my risk of exposure to HIV, and did my risk require PEP? Does PEP lower my risk to 0? Do I need to finish my PEP treatment?
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
