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.
Two days ago I gave unprotected oral on an unknown man, in park, along with mutual masturbation and some unprotected frottage (he did not enter my anus).
Not sure if he ejaculated but I must have gotten some pre-cum from him. My mouth was very, very dry so not much saliva to protect me.
Since I don’t know his status I assume now he’s HIV positive. Stupid of me, I should’ve used protection - I know - now it’s too late to think.
I had an episode of unprotected oral and protected vaginal sex with a Sex worker , originally from ukraine. During the short period of vaginal sex, the had come off once i removed my penis- the length of unprotected exposure was only short( < 3 mins). I am unaware of HIV status of Worker. I rinsed my penis and swabbed with alcohol after. I also commenced Truvada that evening ( approx 4 hrs post exposure) . Is this adequate . I have now been on it for a week .
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.
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.
A week after it happened I went to another STD clinic and had another test done (I wasn't sure if gonorrhea and chlamydia would show up on a test a day after) and those tests were all negative. However, the clinic gave me an antibiotic shot and azithromycin.
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).
the exposure was safe sex, using condoms for anal but without condoms for Oral sex ( the guy did not cum in my mouth however i think he had some precum that i spit ..
I went 30 hrs after my exposure to the hospital and they gave me PEP (1 combivir and 2 kaletra twice per day) coming back to my country after 3 days i forgot the pills that i bought in switzerland and the doctor here suggested i take 1 atripla pill instead every night !!!
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.
ve been on Kaletra/Truvada since 36-8 hours after. Also been taking a histamine based sleeping tablet every night.
I've had numb hands and arms occurring at night since day 10, along with night sweats. No fever during the day, no other symptoms.
I know that peripheral neuropathy is rare in both meds and ARS. Since I am never, ever ill normally (and I'm not imagining these palpable symptoms) I'm 95% sure the symptoms are either meds or ARS.
Four months ago i had a condom break on me on a girl with her period that had unknown status and dr put me on Combivir with Kaletra, and i stopped after 10 days when the girl showed me her test result. I did a test 1 month ago and i was negative, and now i am in the same spot. I already started on the Combivir every 12 hours and the kaletra every 12 hours i have left...
Please Dr, what are my chances of risk??? I do not want to take PEPs if not necesary..
00am I had protected vaginal sex with a 45 year old woman. I also had brief unprotected oral sex before the protected vaginal sex (she performed fellatio on me for 10 seconds maximum) This woman is american of dominican and dutch ethnicity and from miami florida. We had sex and I changed codoms twice (3 condoms used total).
Before I put the first condom on i did not touch her vagina, but she was dry so i smeared lube on the front of her vagina (no insertion of fingers).
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.
I had oral sex with a guy ( sucked him without a condom ) and after we finished he told me that he is pozitive and not on medicine... should i go for pep? is there a risk?
Dear experts
I'm Now in Thailand for meeting. I came on 6th nov. this fateful night, I was dead drunk and brought a girl to my hotel room. I was so drunk that I fall asleep on my bed almost immediately.
I woke up when I felt I was given a blowjob. I thought nothing of it. Went back to sleep. Second time I woke up was a shock. The girl was actually a ladyboy and he was penetrating me. I was too late and she ejaculated inside me, with condom.
After about 20 seconds i noticed my condom had broke. Took it off and continued with oral sex. Didnt wash till i got home( about 30 minutes). Being drunk i tryed to cut off my pubic hair before washing and managed to cut the skin close to the base of the organ. I let it bleed for about 10 seconds then washed with warm water and soap.
After 30 hours i began PeP with Combivir alone. No doctor prescribed it since in Romania insurance does not cover it.
Please help me!
Here I have few concern of my own experience. I was put on PEP (Kaletra & Combivir) 68 hours later after protected vaginal sex and unprotected oral sex (the CSW gave me bj).
I got rash on day 8 of my PEP accompany with mouth ulcer and white tongue.
My test on week 6 is negative. And on week 9 I got another negative test called Combo Test.
Unfortunately, the same kind of rash appear again on week 11 with same mouth ulcer and white tongue.
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.
I am a homo with a minimum sex encounters (less than once a year). I called a male escort were we had protected session. During the session the escort took-off the condom for 3 minutes and we had unprotected sex until i realized that & requested him to put it back. he didn't ejaculated inside me & afterwards i give him oral for few minutes then he mastributed for a few minutes until he finished (very few drops).
