Avatar m tn We use the FDA and CDC approved testing guidelines. Freedome health is in the UK and have different guidelines. Dr.Hook and Dr.HHH have real world testing experience and are confident to give other time lines on testing.
Avatar n tn i tested negative 5 months post exposure. i recently developed pneumonia and i read on the internet that thats an early indication of an infection? any truth? please help. i thought i was done with worrying.
Avatar m tn Been doing some more research, and it looks like the UK is adjusting their PEPSE guidelines. Is that where you source your information? Again, I am not looking to start a fight, I am just trying to understand your information sources. Thanks.
Avatar f tn I do hope that the treatment guidelines she was referring to were ILADS treatment guidelines. The IDSA guidelines leave way too many people sick.
Avatar m tn Any ill effects on getting two shots of pneumonia vaccine within 3 years, I am unable to find anything on the net regarding this, please help. Thanks...
Avatar f tn My question is are there any guidelines/protocol for stopping tx if your ALT/AST reaches 150 each even though you are UND? Mine have been consistently rising each week and today, week 25, my AST=130 and ALT=124. My Hepa Dr said we would have to stop tx if they both reach 150. I cannot find any information on this anywhere. So any help would be greatly appreciated!
Avatar f tn The UK guidelines for PEP say that you should take a test - 4th generation is standard in the UK - at 3 months after PEP - not after exposure but after PEP. There is evidence that taking some types of antiretroviral medicines - HIV meds - will work as a protecton against getting new HIV infection. So it is likely that if you did not pick up HIV on the first occasion then it will have hopefully been averted on the second occasion.
Avatar m tn Thanks for the clarification this was a really good reply. I got it now. Just one thing i am still confused is you said you follow FDA & CDC guidelines here and you give me UK BHIVA guidelines too but if you go on their websites they consider everything a risk including oral sex let alone fingering. Can you please tell me who decides what guidelines to pick from them and what to ignore? I know you will not like this but really if you are rational and objective then it makes sense doesnt it?
Avatar f tn Thanks for the reply getitright. I was reading the UK guidelines and they state that a 4th gen test will pick up the majority of infections by 4 weeks where as a 3rd gen would by 6 weeks. I found that info highly reassuring but was advised to test at 12 weeks for conclusivity. The clinic only advised 6 months in cases of PEP. I really felt good with my 18 week result but can't help thinking 'what if' etc...

Avatar m tn Doctors in the Uk have been using the DUO test for years but official UK guidelines still say 3 months--there are no shortcuts as far as hiv window periods are concerned.
Avatar f tn My husband had flu and pneumonia April of 2017. Had xrays taken by his rheumatologist in Aug 2017 and there was a shadow on his lower right lobe where the pneumonia was. On the 6th of this month (Dec) a follow up xray was taken and two days after they called and said the radiologist recommended a no contrast ct scan. So (two days ago which would have been the 11th) we made an appointment to have it done on the 18th of Dec. Today they called and now want to do the contrast. What is going on?
Avatar m tn the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV and the British Infection Society have published new testing guidelines for HIV in the UK. The consensus advice recommends the use of an HIV DUO test (4th generation combination antibody and p24 antigen) as a first line test because it has the advantage of reducing the window period to one month (28 days). visit: http://www.bhiva.org/cms1222621.
Avatar n tn Hi everyone, I have recently had an Antibody test in the UK at a NHS clinic at 13 weeks and 4 days after a possible exposure, the result was negative, however a advice line here in the UK advised me that my result isnt 100% relaible as a small number can take upto 6 months to have a conclusive/reliable result is this true?
