the reason why i did not take one more pill is that i believed cumulative plasma levels of raltegravir at day 22 May still exists in the circulation and thus i continued my regular dose just not to take second time double dose for raltegravir in case of i drank it through water. However i really do not remember and i also did not see any pills around.
Thank you very much for your kind response.
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 am a RN and I was giving a patient a SQ insulin shot in the back of her arm, she went to get up as i was finished and the needle went into my left thumb. My heart sank and so did my life. I knew she was HIV+ so i was freaking out right away. As soon as it happened i bled the site and washed it with soap and alcohol. I started PEP 2 hrs later (truvada, norvir, raltegravir, and preszita), my initial results are negative.
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 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?
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.
This is the first time in my life I'm going through a situation like that, and in another country that not mine, far from my Family and friends, it's really hard.
rapid test should give u results within hour and ask about his recent sex activites and get it done in clinic, and see the result ...
Next time please use condom .....
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.

i am currently taking suboxeon for my back pain , in about a month im going to start the pegasys hep c treatment . my question is can i take these together .
My primary care doc also prescribed Raltegravir. It was added three days in. Does it matter that I started it later? Or was the Trevada enough for the 72-hour window?
Also, he said that I'll get tested 6 weeks after my baseline test, which would be two weeks after I finish PEP. Is that too soon?
Is anyone else on here suffering with depression or anxiety in their pregnancy?
I was diagnosed with PND after having my LG and got rid of it fine but have been living with anxiety ever since, I was coping with it fine but since falling pregnant this time my anxiety had definitely worsened and finding the right treatment is tricky.
I know it's a common problem before and after pregnancy. Hang in there! Avoid fatty foods... like anything!!! with cholesterol.
