off label use of a medication is something you and your provider need to discuss.
it might not be paid for by your insurance if you are using it for an off label use - just a fyi.
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...
You asked for advice, so I have to know the situation first, so again did you use a condom?
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.
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.
I have a Medtronic Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump for sale. I got it last year and only used it for about 6 months. I just upgraded to another one. It's in perfect condition, no knicks, scratches. I have the original box with all the papers/instructions. The pump will come with:
1. One never opened box of 10 reservoirs - 1.8ml
2. One never opened box of 10 quick set infusion - 23 inches
3. One belt clip
3. One insertion device
4.
I am HIV+ and had oral and anal sex, my viral load has been undetectable for 3 years, and one of my meds is Truvada and the other is Isentress.
I did not ejaculate. Does that make any difference?
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??
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.
Bulk buying of meats such as ground beef, pork, chicken. Eggs. Consider buying sale items (find out when your local store typically does markdowns). If you have a reasonably sized freezer, buy in bulk when items are on sale.
You may find a local farmers market can have reasonably priced produce.
Avoid processed foods as much as possible, as they are poor nutritional value.
Plan meals as much as possible to avoid wastage of foods.
Hope this helps.
If he did, it would have been very minimal - perhaps just the tip and for hardly any time at all. I understand the modes of transmission and how difficult it is to acquire HIV; however, I still worry I'll be the instance of acquiring HIV with such superficial and brief possible penetration. I began PEP treatment (Truvada and Isentress) within 48 hours.
Hello, first excuse my english, i dont speck so much....... but i hope you can understand me.
