I had a sexual encounter and they have put me on truvada and isentress for 4 weeks. It is one week over but I have very bad stomach. I usually have a chronic gastritis due to helyco bacter that I have not managed so far to get rid of.
My doctor said I could take Nexium 20 which is my usual medication for this matter but to try no to take it everyday beacaus of interaction with isentress but he is gone on vacation now and I have a really upset stomach and I dont know what to do.
should I take Isentress again at 7;30 am so that I maintain the 7:30am/7:30pm timeline for Isentress? The pharmacist and lots of online resources stressed the importance of taking the pills on time each time.

The percentages of patients with RVR and SVR were significantly higher in patients receiving triple therapy than in those receiving the standard of care (64 vs. 38%, P=0.048 and 79 vs. 50%, P=0.023 respectively). Patients given nitazoxanide plus PEG-IFN-2a had intermediate rates of RVR (54%) and SVR (61%). Adverse events were similar across treatment groups, except for a higher rate of anaemia in the groups receiving ribavirin.
I had a risk exposure and had a base hiv test 4th gen ab/ag 25 hours after pep or after 2 truvadas and 3 isentress. Could this affect the negative result of the base test? Is the base test considered conclusive? The only risk exposure is no longer since the other party hiv test was negative and the exposure was low risk.
Thanks for your help...
Romark Laboratories, a privately-owned biotechnology company, today announced results of a randomized phase II clinical trial showing that 79% of interferon-naïve patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 4 receiving nitazoxanide plus the standard of care had a sustained virologic response (SVR), or undetectable level of virus, 12 weeks following treatment, compared to 43% of patients receiving the standard of care without nitazoxanide.
Hi, after being exposed to HIV 15 days ago, I'm on day 14 of PEP (Truvada & Isentress). I wonder if facial lipoatrophy (sunken cheeks, temples, eyes, etc) can develop as early as two weeks of being taking these meds. I'm a male model and I make a living of my face. Last week I was fired from 3 photo-shoots in a row. I don't know if I'm really experiencing facial fat waste, or if my face just reflects all the emotional distress I've been through for the past 2 weeks.
m not sure if I had any cuts or abrasions plus I had figured one of the guys. I freaked out and rushed to the nearest emergency room and I was put on pep within almost 2 hours after (truvada and isentress) but I read pep is not 100% and not really tested for non occupational exposures ....am I at high risk?????

Another treatment is Sovaldi/GS-5816
Study GS-US-342-0102 (Oral #111), is an ongoing randomized Phase 2 clinical trial in which treatment-naïve, non-cirrhotic patients with genotypes 1-6 HCV infection received a 12-week course of SOF plus the pan-genotypic NS5A inhibitor GS-5816. Patients received SOF 400 mg and either GS-5816 25 mg (n=77) or GS-5816 100 mg (n=77). In this study, 94.8 percent (n=73/77) of patients receiving the 25 mg dose of GS-5816 and 96.
Rates of SVR following treatment with boceprevir and pegIFN/RBV in treatment-naive (never before treated) patients were 67% and 68% in nonblack patients in the response-guided and 48-week arms, respectively, vs 40% in patients receiving pegIFN/RBV alone.
In black patients, the SVR rates were 42% and 53%, respectively, vs 23% in patients receiving pegIFN/RBV alone.

We did not use protection and when he got out of bed to leave he told me he was sorry that he has HIV and I should go to the hospital. We had anal sex and I was receiving He said he was on meds - Stidbel or something like that. I went to a clinic in NY and they put me on pep. I cant believe I just got over a scare and now this! My pep meds are Truvada and Isentress.
Anadys laid the foundation for the current Phase IIb clinical trial with prior clinical and preclinical work. In a Phase IIa combination trial in HCV patients, we reported data that showed that setrobuvir added to pegylated interferon and ribavirin accelerated the rate of viral clearance, with comparable response at setrobuvir doses of 200 mg bid and 400 mg bid.
