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.
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 want to become a mother again. I have a 19 y/o. I am a newly wed. My husband has no children we are considering IVF but it is so costly. Not sure if I am able d/t high FSH. didn't get result for AMH as of yet. But if its not possible for me to have one biologically we are considering using DE. My question. Is it cheaper using a family or friend as a donor in comparison using an anonymous donor. Where I am living, it cost $16,500 for DE...IVF cost almost $20,000.
Oh my goodness! That is so expensive. Here in new zealand all medical care is absolutely free. It seems unethical to charge someone to give birth!
Can anyone give me a ballpark of the cost for the suppressant drugs after a transplant. Just want to get an idea, know no one can give me exacts but any info would help. Thanks.
umm in the usa without insurance, n im chronic.
hello again, thanks to all the people that responded. was wondering about the cost of meds. interferon and ribavirin, im checking with my ins. to see what they will cover. i may have misspoke about this thing on hepititusccure.net i dont think it is herbal? it deals with fatty liver tissue. but its only 50 bucks to read about it so i dont really have anything to lose. going back to doc in 3 mo. not sure why till i decide on tx. if tx takes care of virus, do people go back to normal lifestyle?
The difference between the full cost of a treatment (which the uninsured often are charged), and the amount the insurance company tells them they will pay is often quite a bit. If you have cash and offer to pay up front (for a discount) you may get charged less than what they can get out of the insurance company, because it's less hassle and instant money for them.
Just a thought, even if you had to borrow the money.
Will your Endo accept results from another facility?
In what country are you? In the USA, it is anywhere from $18,000 to $30,000.
Anyways, the rep told me that ribavarin only comes in 200mg and a 3 months supply would cost me $10.00 co-pay. The peg/interferon would be a 30.00 co-pay for a month. This was the pharmacy and member service that said that. Does this seem right? I always thought tx was expensive like in the thousand of dollars. I have Kaiser but I don't have the deluxe plan or anything just the basic.
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.
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.

The Effect of Telaprevir on the Pharmacokinetics of Buprenorphine in Volunteers on Stable Buprenorphine/Naloxone Maintenance Therapy
Co-administration of telaprevir did not increase withdrawal symptom frequency and there were no serious adverse events reported during or after completion of telaprevir co-administration.
I presume you had anal sex, because oral is not a risk.
HIV is only diagnosed from a test so all your details and questions have no answers.
Since you have passed 28 days, you can just take a 4th gen test for a conclusive result and all the details you mention which are just question marks will become irrelevant.
However, after 2013, three-drug regimen consisting of a nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitor (NTRI), (tenofovir plus emtricitabine), along with a third drug, either an integrase strand transfer inhibitor, raltegravir or a boosted protease inhibitor, darunavir/ritonavir is recommended for PEP.
Ideally, NTRI is an important component of the regimen because if HIV infects a cell, it first attaches to and fuses with the host cell.
