Hi everyone, I have take a PEP treatment for 25 days, which included Lopinavir&Ritrnonavir & Truvada.
I have had diarrhea, anxiety, sleepless nights, depression, numbness in hands and legs, while using these
medications. Its been a week i stopped the medication and all my HIV tests have been negative so far.
So, I am at the 15th day of my pep regime and have been strictly adhering to the program till today. I have been taking lopinavir ritonavir along with tenofovir. I am taking 2pills twice for the first one and one pill once a day for tenofovir. Today my bottle of rito/lopi finished after I took my first dose. I went to the doc clinic which was closed and he says i can only get the meds tomorrow.
Has anyone read the news that came out yesterday about hpv treatment with the Lopinavir drug?
It shows some promising results so I'd like to get anyone's take on this.
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....
This study has to do with an HIV retroviral medication, if used on HPV patients, it might cure them. The drug is already produced, called lopinavir, however we need to make a topical version that is more potent:

You might also want to look into a antiviral drug recently produced by MIT called DRACO. It sounds very promising but needs to be tested on actual humans.
1 - would PEP be effective even if the source has a high viral load?
2 - After the 28 days, can I drink alcohol?
Thank you very much in advance, I am quite distressed about it.
Zidovudine and Lamivudine Tablets ,Lopinavir/RitonavirOral Solution .i want to know ,will it work?how much percent will i avoid being infected?thank you all!
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 2013.10.9(1 day after taking drugs) , I have take a HIV Duo or Combo (4th generation) test and the result is negative .
so, I want to know
1. Could these drugs delay the hiv window period , so that the combo tese was not correct?
2.
1-My partner tested Negative(Antigen/ Antibody) on 22 days post exposure
2-Thinking that i might be developing facial Lipodystrophy (slight facial fat loss under cheek bones). I cant tell if my face was like this before the treatment or it is just an illusion.
What can i do to really know if i developed some lipodystrophy ? any test u can advise about?
I agree with the comments above and the chance of reinfecting is slim if your gums are not bleeding. At the same time, why take a chance, theses items are cheap.
I bought the 4 packs of toothbrushes and disposable razors and changed often even after und because you don't know if you have a low undetectable level. If that's obsessive or unnecessary so be it if it gives you peace of mind. This was the least of my worries during tx.
What is my overall risk of acquiring HIV, taking in consideration all that I have described above?.
Thank you very much in advance.
A 12 years old girl had a blood transfusion with hiv blood, she took PEP( tenofovir, emtricitabine, ritonavir-boosted darunavir (subsequently changed to lopinavir) and raltegravir) after 24 hours and had these PEP for three months. This girl also has cssr5 dna which is a dna that hard to infect hiv. After 8 months, she had a negative result on HIV RNA and HIV ag/ab test. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4226216/).
For those too concerned about catching HPV(which most will do anyway), there's great news about the use of the lopinavir drug to cure HPV. What do you think, Dr. Handsfield?
Sorry again Teak Lamavudine (Lamavir) Stavudine (Stavir) and Kaletra
it sucks but it's not the end of the world. i do know how you feel as I felt the same way before.
Read other posts as there is A LOT of info here. However to help address your concerns, CELEBREX might help. Your doc probably won't just give it to you though. Lopinavir might also but probably even harder to get. In the meantime, build up your immunity and try Tagamet. It can't hurt. Get at least 20 minutes of sun exposure daily. Daily asprin might also help a little.
My PEP course consists of 150/300mg of Lamivudine/Zidovudine (Zovilam) and 400mg/100mg of Lopinavir/Ritonavir (Kaletra) taken every 12 hours for 30 days. I have just taken my third dosage.
My concerns and questions:
1. The doctor in the ER told me that my risk of HIV infection is extremely low, but if I wanted to be safe I could agree to a PEP course, which I did. She also told me there were some side effects. My question is how low was my risk in terms of percentages or numbers?
I just found out my progestrone level is 35.8 does this mean I'm pregnant???
Also it means that if a person had a T level of of 900 at his youthful age, and at sixty years if his T level drops to 400 he could develop symptoms of low T even though he is within the normal range. At the same time, a person who had a T level of 500 when young, could be symptom free at 400 level and 60 sixty years of age. However, at any age, T levels below 200 is a definite indication of hypogonadism.
Idk about the hcg level, but I think there is still time for you to have your period for October. I had a long cycle a couple times and thought I was pregnant but then a day or so later I got my normal flow. You could try a home test or wait a few more days. Of course if you check your hcg again it will have increased a ton if you are pregnant.
( I am freaking out n just need something to calm me down. I am a 38 y r old male I recently have had my prolactin level checked and it was 31 I have all symptoms of pituitary tumor and my doc thinks that's what it might be.i am a nervous wreck thinking I have a brain tumor that is non treatable. All of my other blood work came back normal and from what I am reading if it was cancerous it would have shown up in my blood work.
