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 had a gay massage 3 weeks ago. The man who gave me a massage kissed and "fingered" me a few times and later on he "sat" on me. The penetration lasted about 10 seconds before I pulled out, and needless to say it was unprotected. Within 3 hours, I saw my doctor to discuss and he said my risk is low, but because it was unprotected sex with a gay sex worker, there is still a risk. He put me on truvada + isentress.
In the following day, I finally could find a very good hospital with a specialized area for HIV treatment, and the doctor was quite surprised that they had given me just a Truvada. She added a Isentress (raltegravir) to my Pep treatment. But I could realized that she was quite worried because I had had only Truvada in the begining of my treatment and in the very deadline edge.
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?
t notice It was cold out and my eye was tearing so I wiped It later I looked at my hand and noticed blood stains on it and then looked at my face that also had blood from wiping my eye I went to the er and they game me truvada and isentress and a week later the raining pills today I was working and got a needle stuck in me from a patient I transport the red bio cases for that has needles in them were I dispose of it.
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????? May PEP delay a positive result. Can i have a breath with this result????
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?
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
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???
I am currently taking truvada and isentress (raltegravir) is this enough I couldn't get my prescription for dolutegravir filled...is this pep enough?
Your doctor is following out date procedure. The new procedure is Truvada + Isentress. The procedure he is following I believe was written in 2003.
You may wish to discuss with him why he is following out of date guidelines.
Also if there is any concern the test this early stage would not be 4th gen, it would be PCR or NAAT, according to the new guidelines (2010) for PEP.
I think you should consider getting a 2nd opinion on how to proceed with your PEP.
I was given pep for 28 days isentress and truvada side effects were pin sensations all over my body and the muscles in my legs dissolved. almost a year later I have hypersensitive feet pins and needle feeling in my feet and lower legs and pain in my toes as well pain in my legs. I thought when you stop this medication these symptoms go away how long can they stay because I feel like they are getting worse and not better.
I was helping a person that sliped in the snow a few weeks ago on my way to get a sandwich I noticed my eyes were tearing so I started to wipe my eye and later noticed there was blood on my hand and face so I thought I must have gotten in my eye I was given pep to help have been taking isentress and truvada given from id department in New York Metropolitan Hospital
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.
