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
Thanks for the info,however I am confused about the transmission of HSV-1 and HSV-2
with oral sex if you could clairfy that. The acyclovir was prescribe as 400mg three times a day for five days and then I was told I can take a half a tab prophylaxis.
If you are not able to access one, you can as well give the medicine at the rate of 40mg/kg body weight i.e. it comes to around 400mg 8th hourly. You can give 3/4 of the tab once in 8 hours which is a safe dosage. But I still recommend you to go for the house hold remedy, encourage him to drink plenty of warm water, warm salt water gargles. Also you can give pain killers (such as Acetaminophen) if any. See a doctor at the earliest.
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.
He has kept me on the anti-viral med as a preventive because I have a number of other serious health issues and a weak immune system. The medication is Zovirax (Acyclovir tab, 400mg). I take one tab twice a day. If this sounds like what you are experiencing I suggest you talk to your doctor. He/she may not agree with the diagnosis, but may be willing to try. Good luck.
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.

It helped alot I didnt realize how much as I didnt take em till alittle later today and I was starting to feel like the withdrawals all over agian I took that med because of the siezure risk involved but everyone has there own way of doing it Im just letting you know its possible. Hang tight man this drug is bad news....
I asked to take FLUCONAZOLE 400mg tab once in a week for 8 weeks! and Doxycycline and Lactic acid bacillus capsules one a day for 30 days!! and an anti bacterial cream HH derm!! I continued this for a 15 days and just took 4 of fluconazole and i discontinued for 10 days!! then i started continuing the tablets!!
Will it be fine??? i dont experience much burning sensation now a days! when i apply that cream i get little burning sensation it means is it curing??
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.
Welcome to tthe forum.
There are no data on which to base a risk estimate for receptive anal sex of different durations. Logically, a very brief exposure like this would carry less risk than more prolonged exposure with ejaculation in the rectum. If you were in my clinic, I probably would not recommend PEP.
as each day progresses it seems the symptoms become more pronounced. i was put on 400mg of this drug on 1/3/08 after i had brain surgery and been having seizures, i have not had any siezures at this time. is this normal? my neurologist began cutting me back on monday by 100mg every two weeks. help!!!
i was given several drugs which did not work. in any event on monday, i took 400mg suprax at 2pm. also was given azithromycin which i took two tablets on tuesday and then 1 a day. on thrusday i made a big mistake and feel guilty. i was drunk and had sex, with someone approximately 10pm. i still have minor symptoms but mostly gone at jsut a small amount of discharge. i am really hoping i did not give to my partner.
