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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
What is my overall risk of acquiring HIV, taking in consideration all that I have described above?.
Thank you very much in advance.
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?
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....
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/).
Sorry again Teak Lamavudine (Lamavir) Stavudine (Stavir) and Kaletra
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?
So, my understanding was not to have sex the entire week of taking the pills. After taking my last antibiotic, the next day I had sex, and my boyfriend ejaculated inside me. I have been taking my BC pill (been taking for last year) every day as usual even during the time of the antibiotics. I checked my calendar and we had sex the day of my ovulation. I looked online later and everyone says that you shouldn't have sex during the antibiotics AND one week after.
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.
Treatment with PEG-IFN-alpha 2a, 180 ug/week and ribavirin 1000 mg/day was started, and lopinavir/r/3TC/tenofovir was continued. HCV RNA was cleared after 12 weeks and AST levels normalised. At month 13, still on PEG-IFN/ribavirin therapy, AST levels increased and HCV RNA became detectable. Genotyping showed HCV genotype-2. The patient admitted he had participated in one more ‘fist-@%* king’ party at month 11 in Berlin. The patient denied IVDU at any time.
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?
6) PEP medications often increase Liver and Kidney enzymes and other related abnormalities are seen in the report. Your doctor will ask you to do the test after taking initial doses. How will you understand? Left or right pelvic region pains, feeling of hot rush inside the body, pain under the chest, headaches that are strong, yellowing of eye balls, skin. I was on Lopinavir/Ritonavir and Tinofir (spellings might be incorrect).
These have been proven to work, however they may not work for everyone. It's important to convert to a diet of fruits and vegetables with at least 20 minutes of sun a day, while trying to heal yourself. It's also important to avoid alcohol and smoking.
I tried for 4 years before any results. I tried Aldara treatments over and over again. I tried cutting them off with knife. I tried Veregen and even Aldara & Veregen at the same time.
You may have thoughts about suicide when you first start taking an antidepressant, especially if you are younger than 24 years old. Your doctor will need to check you at regular visits for at least the first 12 weeks of treatment.
