Is combivir an appropriate HIV nPEP regimen for one time unprotected encounter with CSW of unknown status in Kenya? I'm a 24 yr male from UK. Insertive vaginal and oral. Asked about Kaletra and doc said it's low risk doesn't recommend, but I am still very worried. Started within 12 hours, but still within 72 if kaletra should be added. I feel terrible of course but appreciate any advice.
30am and 8:30pm along with Kaletra, is it ok to change this to say 6am and 6pm or will the moving around times effect their effectiveness at least on the day I changed the time of taking them?
Also will taking PEP have any long term side effects. It just that with all the sport I do I need to stay muscular, would PEP have any effect on this?
I'm currently taking Kaletra and Combivir.
1 Truvada and 2 Kaletra at 7am while 2 Kaletra at 7pm. Yesterday, I took 1 Truvada at 7am but since I was in a hurry after dinner, I accidentally took one more Truvada last night. I tried to vomit it up but I was able to vomit only a part (dissolved part) of it. Because of panic, I forgot to take Kaletra last night. I rushed to the A&E and asked the doctor's advice on what to do.
Since the chances a quite low Can I stop taking pep or can I stop kaletra and remain with truvada take it upto 28days.coz kaletra gives me diarrhea.
My sister-in-law is just above 10 years old. She takes Viread and Kaletra every day. My mother-in-law takes Videx EC and Ziagen. My mother-in-law is currently in Africa, and I've searched on the pills my sister-in-law is taking, and I found out that it was HIV treatment :'( I couldn't hold my tears, because I love her so much, and she is so young. I want to know what it means. Please tell me.
Started PEP at roughly 56 hours, was prescribed Truvada and Kaletra (those orange ones). However in such panic I took the one Truvada and stupidly only one Kaletra (I was meant to take two), the second tablet I took at roughly 68 hours. I then realised my stupidity and the next day (about 80 hours) I began to take the correct dosage (one truvada and two Kaletra twice daily).
Tested negative for all other STD's inc. HIV on roughly 12th Jan.
I also commenced Truvada that evening ( approx 4 hrs post exposure) . Is this adequate . I have now been on it for a week . I was considering commencing kaletra as well . Is my risk high ? would you recommend anything else?
thanks for advice
worried !!
In the morning of Thursday I took 1 Kaletra. In the evening of Thursday I realized I misread the label and took 2 Kaletra though I forgot to take the Truvada because I was used to taking the other medicine in the morning (I’ve also not been thinking straight and been very stressed, I made a mistake). On Friday morning I came to my senses and took 2 Kaletra and 1 Truvada and set a plan so I wouldn’t mess it up and that’s the regiment I will stick too.

Sobrang nahirapan na ko hindi makapagapply ng trabaho dahil s sakit na ito gulong gulo n ang isip ko.... Nagtataka n din ang magulang ko bakit d ako nagaaply ng trabaho sobrang sakit ng naramdaman ko..... Dumating din s punto n iniwan ako ng girlfriend ko... Sobrang mahal ko sya..

Try no din na uminom ng Bignay Tea at Guyabano Tea,lagyan mo ng honey.Uniinom din ako ng Calamansi Juice,Ginger Juice.Tapos umiinom din ako ng fresh buko juice on empty stomach.Nagtry din ako ng Sampa-sampalukan pero itinigil ko kase sobrang pait.Dati nahihiya ako lumabas ng bahay kase nanilaw ako.Pero sa awa ng Diyos natapos din ang paghihirap ko.Pero kahit magaling na ako,kailangan pa rin na magpatuloy sa mga supplements para mapanatili ang kalusugan.
Hi, thank you for your interest and answers. I took combivir since monday, having feeling nausea and diarrhea, but today the doctor decided to give me also Kaletra four pills a day. Isn't that too much?. I think i won't be able to endure so many drugs.., can you give me some advice about this, please ?
Hi everyone,
Last weekend (Saturday night - Sunday morning) I stupidly allowed myself to have unprotected aggressive-anal and passive/aggressive-oral sex. About an hour after I found out that the person has sex with people that have HIV. The person tried to assure me that they were clean, had an HIV test last March that came back negative, and that I was the first person they had sex with since November (as if March 2011 to November conveniently doesn't matter).
ang advice nung doctor nya is to have another blood test para malaman kung carrier or positive na talaga sya for hepa b... may chance kayang positive sya? since nabasa ko din na thru sexual intercourse mapapasa yung hepa b...
