I see a new HIV drug is on the market that may stop replication of hsv. How would people obtain this for hsv treatment?
It is already fda approved.
Sorry, let me clarify, there was another exposure prior, about 3 months before, the one with warranted PEP that worried me, I found out in this process more about the girl which turnd out to be an escort. Could I trust a negative hiv test after 2 truvadas and 3 isentress?
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.
Hello I am a 32 year old male and i had anal receptive sex (i was the bottom). The condom ended up breaking! He noticed it, pulled out and put a new one on. 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.
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.
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?
should I take Isentress again at 7;30 am so that I maintain the 7:30am/7:30pm timeline for Isentress? The pharmacist and lots of online resources stressed the importance of taking the pills on time each time.
I was recently with a male, who predominantly engaged in fingering me. During this time, he was lying off to the side and a couple of times would put his penis in my vaginal entrance. It's splitting hairs to identify if he penetrated. He denies doing so. If he did, it would have been very minimal - perhaps just the tip and for hardly any time at all.
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 am asking if I had milk from her breasts in my mouth, what is the risk for HIV along with vaginal secretions on my penis? After I came, she rubbed her hand along the top of my urethra. Please, answer and respond when you have the chance.
Hello Doctor. I'm worried about my risk of contracting HIV. I had protected sex with a guy whom I met online 3 weeks ago. I was the insertive top (protected). He also performed unprotected oral on me.
The next day, I went to my doctor because I was worried and started PEP about 19 hours later (Truvada/Isentress).
A couple of days ago, I was able to reach the guy again and he was nice enough to test with me.
Recently had a foursome with three other guys they all performed oral on me and gave me rim jobs they were having unprotected sex and I thought it was kind of weird so I then put a condom on myself. The one guy who invited me wanted to have sex so I attempted to put my penis into him and one of the other guys but it didn't work out. Right after is when they decided to disclose their hiv staus which was positive, they were all positive and claim to be "undetectable"..
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.
I had an unprotected vaginal sex with a Vietnam woman at 3.29. I do not know about her HIV status however I am scared after that and 15 hours later went to CDC to get 28 days PEP (Trovada &ISENTRESS).
I do not have cut/bleeding/STD on penis.
Here are my questions:
1. What is the effectiveness about these PEP drugs with in 24 hours? Any thoughts about my odds on infection?
2. Will PEP extend the window period? I have searched some info. on line but seems no conclusion there...
What are chances of me catching HIV if she intentionally scratch me with a needle? Can HIV transmit from a small cut like mines? I read online, HIV need direct access to the bloodstream to be transmit, how true is that? Can the cut I had on my finger be a direct access to my bloodstream? And how long does HIV blood live outside the body given a room temperature condition.
Hello everyone, I recently had an occupational exposure to HIV and I'm wondering two things that you might could help me with.
1. I got infected blood in my eye and mouth. What are the realistic chances of infection? The ER basically just said don't worry about it, here's some PEP, have a good day
2. I'm concerned about long term effects. They put me on Truvada, and Isentress for ten days and the side effects are killing me.
Failure can happen on any medicine you take. I've read that PEP is 87% effective. But when it does fail, it is probably often the result of starting it later than the 72 hour window or not taking it every day or correctly. Your risk was pretty low with a one time condom break. If you elected to take pep, you have to think positive. And ruminating if you'll end up with HIV after doesn't help anything. The odds are in your favor that you will NOT have HIV when you do finally test.
