My HBV DNA level is sometimes undetectable, but sometime a few hundreds. Will this means my body contract some other virus? It is because I know lamivudine also treat HIV virus as well.
5. I am taking lamivudine daily, will that make me more resistant to HIV virus?
Thanks a lot!
Lamivudine 150 is meant for HIV patients or patients coinfected with HBV and HIV.Only Lamivudine 100 is usually prescribed for hepatitis b patients.But whatever be the dosage its not at all safe to be treated with lam. due to its high risk of resistance associated with it.Moreover it is also very weak as compared to the newer medicines like entecavir and tenofovir.You should change your doctor and see to it that your new doctor prescribes you entecavir/tenofovir.
But I can not move on since I know the lamivudine, one of main anti-HIV medicine for preventing HIV infection in the PEP procedure, will delay the window period, although it must be used with another drug and in the 24 hours after exposure.
I know you hold the opinion that anti-HIV medicine will delay the window period, My question is:
1. Can you let me know: does the lamivudine will prolong the window period or interfere the test result?
2.
I am on Lamivudine/Zidovudin, can i have unprotected sex with my girlfriend and she would not get any virus from me?? because i had a condom burst with a workmate while i was away for work in another country. can i have sex it her and she will be ok ???
in another word, does this result means that I have exposure the HIV virsues? Does lamivudine extend the window period? Howl long do I need take another test?
I am too worried, I need the result, I can not pay your answer fee since I have no international credit card, I am so sorry, please let me know the result, thank you for you kindly answer!
I performed oral sex on a guy that I later found out has HIV. I certainly swallowed a bit of his cum during the oral sex and the next day discovered he is taking Atripla (medicine for hiv treatment which is said to reduce the viral load to undectable in most cases).
I freaked out and bought lamivudine/zidovudine 150/300mg as a preventive measure (I'm travelling so that was my option). What are my risks? Am I overreacting?
16 days ago Iwa in Thailand and had sex with a sex worker (lady boy) I was a bit drunk, just remember that I had a condom, but cannot tell that for her (can't remember). I was also a reciever. After 40 hours I went to the first clinic and they gave me PEP (TenofovirDF, emtricitabine + lamivudine). The clinic looks very unprofessional, but it was my only chance. I didn't do any hiv or std test, a month before the exposure i had HIV test which was negative.
tenofovir, no resistance
entecavir, 1,5% resistance but cannot be used on those using lamivudine because in this case resistance can go higher than 50%
interferon
if i had a doctor prescribing me such rubbish useless toxic.....i d destroy his life....
no these drugs make untreatable virus mutants, this was a failure on hiv and hbv and should never be used now
sorry a big mistake i did here, this drug lamivudine make untreatable virus mutants, this was a failure on hiv and hbv and should never be used now.
I see Lamivudine could be more for HIV, but I can not give you any advise because I am not a doctor. I think you should another doctor.
Hello Doc, am 28yrs Male from Africa Uganda,8 days ago i got sexually involved with a girl of 19yrs we used a condom for most of the intercourse but before i climaxed my condom broke at bottom tip, am not sure how long i lasted their in her virgina after my condom broke cos i was drunk but it was around 5 mins when i realized my penis head was not covered i did not continue sex stoped there and i did not cum cos i got scared right away ,then the following day i took her to test and she turned ou
As you already know, the exposure you describe was not particularly high risk for HIV or any other STI. It is unlikely that your partner had HIV and even if she did, the risk of becoming infected following a single exposure is low- less than 1 infection per 1000 sex acts, on average. As you already know, at this level of risk PEP is not recommended.
As for your specific questions:
Is my risk of HIV greater considering that this encounter happened in Eastern Europe n CSW was Ukrainian?
About one year ago when I conducted Hepatitis B profile, I had NON RELICATIVE INFECTION but about one year on lamivudine I am now REPLICATIVE. Please what does this suggest? I am planning to stop taking lamivudine because it gives me so much side effect ranging from stomach discomforts and back pains and general weakness. The doctor I met this time related all these complaints to lamivudine.
I ate lamivudine and zidovudine at 22 hours late after the behavior.Does it will work well?
I write you because I have inquiries about risks of transmission of HIV. Three weeks ago, I had receptive and protected anal sex ( we used condom which did not break) with a guy whom has HIV (I realized of that the next morning of the intercourse). Also, I did fellatio to him (without condom), but there were not ejaculation, and when we were kissing ( eating a chocolate), he did a cut in his mouth lip.
the second component is unchanged, 200mg of emtricitabine, also called FTC, a fluor substituted form of Lamivudine, that provides protection from the development of mutants that will lower the responsiveness to tenofovir.
it's side effects are generally considered very mild, equivalent to lamivudine.
This is theoretically good news for hbv patients waiting eagerly for TAF to be available for HBV.
The problem is the high price: 1500$ for one month supply of 30 pills.
stop lamivudine immediately or switch to tenofovir, it is decades now lamivudine is not used because it can lead to cytopatic hbv mutations that cannot be control with any medication leading to cancer and cirrhosis despite hbsag negative, hbvdna undetectable and normal ast-alt, another reason not to use lamivudine is that it is even totally useless on hbv
the hbsag of the virus mutates to a form where the virus destroy cells directly even without replication
hbv cure is achieved only by sequen
Without taking any drugs, viral load was 22,000 in september 2009. 46,000 in december 2009. Doctor recommended lamivudine in January. Took lamivudine and by June 2010, viral load was undetected. have read in many forums that lam is not the best, approached my doctor with this concern and she sugessted tenofovir. Should i start tenofovir immediately, how should i start. Should i just abruptly stop lam and move on to tenofovir, should i use both and gradually stop lam after a few day/weeks.
hi, as a gay, i am aware of the high risk of hiv infection. so i never dare to have anal sex with anyone
3days ago, i dated a guy （now it's sure that he is positive）, before meeting him, we agreed on no anal sex or oral sex.
after meeting him ,first he uses a plastic fake pennis to insert into my anus for 60seconds
after that he inserted his finger into my anus overally for 30 seconds.
Good afternoon. There is a double-acting drugs - lamivudine, emtricitabine, tenofovir. This is known. Are there any similar action in the protease inhibitor, such as Kaletra (lopinavir) for example?
Have you ever thought about that?
I read - sometimes laugh. Simvastatin, vitamin D, which the Chinese poeben, mythical new drugs, masturbation with measurements of the level of HBsAg, and other nonsense....
8(17 pm ) I have anal sex with a men (I am gay, bottom) , but the condom was broken, and his semen has partly into my body. But I do not know if he is hiv patient. After about 68 hours(2013.9.11,12am), I take hiv block drugs from doctor, these drugs are Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablets , Aluvia (Lopinavir and Ritonavir Tablets) and Lamivudine Tablets. I have take these drugs for 28 days (until 2013.10.8),at 2013.10.
My sister has had HIV for 8 years and has been taking Stalanev and Lamivudine. She had bloods done recently and cd4 came back at 14. She is in a third world country where medication is not readily available. She has been coughing and complaining of chest pain and has a wheeze for the past 3 days now. What treatment should she be getting and how can I help her.
Hepatic decompensation was not prevented by lamivudine compared to placebo or entecavir compared to lamivudine in three underpowered trials.
Hepatocellular carcinoma was not prevented in four studies with inadequate size and duration. In one RCT, analysis that adjusted for country, sex, baseline ALT level, Child-Pugh score, and Ishak fibrosis score and excluded five individuals who developed HCC within the first year of the study found a borderline significant effect of lamivudine.
