Once a day pills are to be taken once daily..........in other words, once in a 24 hour period. Meds prescribed for twice daily dosing should be taken between 8-12 hours after the first dose. But if you take it six hours or 14 hours after your last dose, the drugs efficacy will NOT be affected.Contrary to a once-popular belief, you don't need a stopwatch to correctly take the medication. It's generally good to aim for the same time of day (ie.
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.
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 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...
i am on PEP ( truvada and isentress) already 2 weeks... yesterday got cut by a rusted door. is tetanus injection safe to take with Pep.. or is there drug interactions?
please assist as important to take tetanus injection today..
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 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?
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.
30am and by 2pm I took my first dose of Truvada/Isentress about 62 hours after incident. I tested Neg that day on a blood rapid test. What are the chances of getting exposed from a dildo with semen on it.
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?
( Truvada and Isentress every 12) I had receptive Anal with condom break. No ejaculation , and had just started having sex when condom broke, when he pulled his penis out, the condom had broken and slid back with the tip of his Penis sticking out and I noticed a bubble of Precum on the tip of his penis.... I freaked out... I asked him "Oh Crap!
It kind of confuses me especially now that you say that because I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in the end. At one point they had me taking the entire highest recommended daily dose of Geodon all at once and I hear you're only supposed to take the highest recommended daily dose in two doses and not one.
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 .
It is one Truavada and two Isentress a day. I am really scared about the side effects and I am wondering if I should continue taking the pills.
So, far I have had no side effects what so ever, so I'm wondering what the pills are doing.
I had sex with a guy on Sunday and he didn't ejaculate at all. I believe he let his dick get limp and then withdrew from me. Once he withdrew, there was no condom on his penis and he said that it came off while he was removing his penis from my vagina.
In self defense/retaliation, I punched the male in the face (which most likely made him bleed inside his mouth) and he then processed, not exaggerating here, to bite my face once. He definitely broke the skin, he held on for about ten seconds and I definitely bled.
About two hours after the incident, I went to the ER. I got a tetanus shot, antibiotics prescribed and because I requested it: I was put on PEP.
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.
