At day 22, i took raltegravir from the box but im not sure whether i drank the pill with the water or not. Normally, I remember the pills that I drank through glass of water but i cannot remember this time whether i drank this pill with glass of water or not but i counted pills and i concluded that their numbers are as expected.
I searched couple of papers and i concluded not to double the dose in the case of i used that pill.
combining emtricitabine and tenofovir from the NRTI class, and raltegravir, from the integrase inhibitor class. There ARE alternative drugs available and possibly in Thailand they use lamivudine in place of raltegravir. I am definitely NOT a chemist, so I can't tell you for sure if the combination you're taking is appropriate. You should discuss your concerns with the doctor who prescribed PEP or a pharmacist/chemist. I wish you the best.
I started PEP 2 hrs later (truvada, norvir, raltegravir, and preszita), my initial results are negative. I do not know the viral load of the patient yet, i can only pray that it is low. I know odds are 0.3% but that doesnt settle my fears, i am young and want to live a happy healthy life with KIDS! DR. please tell me if you have honstly heard of any cases like mine that have converted. I am in awe and feel like my life is totally over and ruined.
I am currently taking truvada and isentress (raltegravir) is this enough I couldn't get my prescription for dolutegravir filled...is this pep enough?
m confused on the prescriptions given to me I have a 7 day dose of raltegravir and dolutegravir...thought it was supposed to be 28 days?
I appreciate your blunt response. I was prescribed Truvada + raltegravir (PEP) but could not obtain raltegravir in Europe. To be fair, I called the US PEP hotline who told me that I could take Truvada as PEP as there are no studies that prove it’s ineffective, so I didn’t start it without advice from the US HIV experts. I agree my anxiety is an issue but I legitimately was seeking an answer.
How long does it take to get approval? They have started the Insurance and said that it would take a couple of weeks for the insurance. What happens after the insurance is approved? How long for the testing process?
I believe the general consensus is sometime towards the middle/end of next year. They have filed for "fast track" approval - so that means it should only take about 4x times longer than it really should, instead of 8x longer.
Anyways I rushed to the hospital and was put on PEP at a maximum of 3 hours post exposure (truvada and raltegravir). I have taken the pills without missing any doses. At 3 weeks post exposure the lymph nodes in my neck swelled up slightly and I felt a tiny bit feverish. Checking my temperature rectally though revealed it was always in the 37s. These strange symptoms lasted only 2 days...could this be ARS?
I actually went to the clinic, got PEP (truvada 200mg and Raltegravir 400mg), also done hiv prick test which was negative. Dr was helpful and explained everything for me. He also said best thing is as u guys suggest, ask him test but also if he is clear 6 weeks back also, but that also depends on trust.
On my side i don't wanna embarrass him as twice he told me not to worry.
In the following day, I finally could find a very good hospital with a specialized area for HIV treatment, and the doctor was quite surprised that they had given me just a Truvada. She added a Isentress (raltegravir) to my Pep treatment. But I could realized that she was quite worried because I had had only Truvada in the begining of my treatment and in the very deadline edge.
I am taking Truvada and Raltegravir. Yesterday, (3 days after exposure and 2 days on PEP) I had protected sex with a female partner (I, the insertive male) and when I ejaculated I am afraid some spilled off the base of the condom.
If I began PEP 24 hours after possible exposure and had protected sex with someone else on Day 2 of PEP, could I have biologically put them at risk for HIV if by any chance the ejaculate spilled off the condom?
I started PEP (Truvada and ISENTRESS which is Raltegravir Potassium Tablets) in 47 hours. I also saw some case about PEP with blood transfusion. 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.

Gilead Sciences
Drug/indication: Sofosbuvir, hepatitis C
Approval decision date: Dec.
Hello - I am genotype 1a, I had a liver biopsy in February 2014 that showed stage 2 grade 2-3. My IL28B is TT. I found out in Oct 2013 that I relapsed after 48 weeks of triple therapy with Incivek. Prior to that I was a twice non-responder to Interferon and Ribiviran. I've had this disease since 1987 as far as I know.
Today my GI is starting his efforts to get me approved for Harvoni. I'm not sure if I'm considered sick enough for approval or what. I guess I'll find out.
I am happy you have gotten approval, please keep in touch, let everyone know how you are doing.
You're dealing with anxiety. I might suggest you google the phrase "childhood anxiety" or something similar to find information on dealing with this issue. It won't go away over night, but your daughter's self-esteem can be heightened with intervention ideas. By the way, is your daughter extremely "sensitive"? If she is, I might suggest a book written by Elaine N.

Looks like this may be a sign of the times. Everyone is upset and seeing this for what its worth. Too many stubborn people in DC.
In my experience, a week after approval I received my meds from the specialty pharmacy fed x overnight but not before they called (spec pharm) and asked a slue of questions, and then they had me call again to order and they asked a couple more questions. Couldn't start the meds until I had a "teaching" from my NP. I started today actually, am doing 4week lead-in with Peg/Riba and then Victrelis. Good luck on your journey and congrats on going to get started.
