3 days later my doctor switched me from Sustiva/Combivir to Kaletra/Combivir. A few days after that I began to develop a mild sore throat and a quarter size rash on my penis. On July 24th I got a Stat-Pak HIV test at a clinic which came back negative. By July 30th, 2008 (maybe a few days earlier) I developed a small quarter size rash on my right foot but this rash was nothing at all like the rash on my penis a few weeks earlier.
I wondered because they only ever had me take the antipsychotics I've taken once a day and I always heard everyone else talk about taking them twice a day. I'm only awake 12 hours or less a day and the current one I'm on has a half life of 3 days so I guess it's kind of pointless for me to take it twice a day.
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.
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.
Hello everyone, well I am in a similar situation as a lot of users here and would like to gain a little advise if possible. I'll try and keep it brief:
December 24th - Engaged in unprotected receptive anal sex.
How very stupid and the worst thing is I don't remember a mass amount of it however, went to the clinic and was told I could take PEP, which seemed a little drastic but she stated it was a high-risk situation so I of course obliged.
I started taking Truvada on Monday afternoon 3pm because the nurse told me to do so. Then she asked me to make a schedule of taking this drug together with Kaletra. I then scheduled to take them 7am and 7pm: 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.
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).
About two weeks ago I met up with a guy and he gave me a blowjob. I didn't know his status and afterwards I freaked out. Other than that one instance I always use condoms.
A day after it happened I went to my doctor who gave me a prescription for Truvada/Kaletra. My baseline test was negative for all common STDs and HIV.
This question is for an expert or someone who has information from reliable sources on net. Can I change from Kaletra to Istentress after few days during the course of 28 day PEP period? This is in addition to Truvada.
I am in area where I do not have any good access to knowledgeable doctor. Is there any paid online service available for such consultation in any country? It is a pity that in most places HIV is still a big taboo and no good doctors are available.
Hi there im 17 yo male and 3 months ago I had sex as a bottom with a 45 yo male, i believe he is HIV+ because I saw kaletra and truvada on his desk, he said it was his cousin's but I don't beleve him.
We had unprotected oral, cunnilingus, me recieving both, then protected anal sex (mE recieving as well), we switched condoms once because it was dirty, we used lube.
i accidentally pricked myself with a syringe and am on aluvia treatment.Does this help prevent hiv?
I’ve been swimming for almost 2 years now so my heart rate went down from 60 to 45 and I read it’s an indicator of a strong healthy heart. About three years ago I started feeling once in a while a stronger heart beat and after seeking medical advice I was diagnosed with a light Mitral VP (3mm), nothing serious doctors said, treadmill showed nothing, I was advised however to avoid heavy weightlifting.
