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?
Treatment-naïve, non-cirrhotic patients with HCV/HIV co-infection, MK-5172/MK-8742 treated for 12 weeks - 90 percent (26/29) and MK-5172/MK-8742 plus RBV for 12 weeks 97 percent (28/29).

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?
In this study, 95 patients were randomized across five treatment arms with regimens of MK-7009 300 mg or 600 mg twice daily, MK-7009 600 mg or 800 mg once daily, or placebo, for 28 days. Patients in all treatment arms received standard doses of peg-IFN/RBV in combination with the MK-7009 or placebo regimens, and are continuing to receive peg-IFN/RBV for an additional 44 weeks. HCV RNA was measured by the HCV RNA PCR TaqMan 2.
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.
MK-5172 (aka grazoprevir), MK-3682, and a newer drug MK-8408 (some are being given MK-8742 aka elbasvir).
I see there have already been testing with the combination of grazoprevir and elbasvir (similar to MK-8408) over just 8 weeks, and results look okay.
I can't find much about MK-3682 and MK-8408, looks like these drugs are still very much in the early stages of experimentation.
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'm being considered for a Phase 2 clinical trial from Mertz, in which they give all participants two drugs, which are MK-5172 & MK-8742, with some participants also getting Riboviron, but others a Placebo. Has anyone participated in this study or does anyone know anything about it. There are several trials I'm looking into, but I don't know how to research the best one for me. I found out just three months ago that I have Hep C, stage 2.
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?
t realize that some of my liver pain was from MK-7. By the time I realized MK-7 was hurting me, it was too late. I was hoping the MK-7 liver and kidney damage would heal, but it's permanent. Vitamin K2 MK-7 sellers claimed MK-7 was not stored in the liver and therefore MK-7 was safe, so that's one reason I took MK-7. Vitamin K2 MK-7 accumulates and causes liver damage and kidney damage. Chromium supplements gave me a lot of liver damage and some kidney damage.
You should be able to see very well without glasses at distance, You have very minimal prescription and just a very small amount of astigmatism.
Glaucoma can cause thinning of the nerve fiber layer (a well known early predictor of glaucomatous vision loss) and eventually even loss of ganglion cells.
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.
Not really something you can treat with laser which would not address the underlying problem that caused the redness in the first place. It could be from dry eyes, allergies, sun or wind exposure, chemical exposure, prior injury or other causes. Usually it takes many years to get to your stage. Please see an ophthalmoligist to talk about what you can do to lessen the redness for the future. You need to know the cause in order to start the proper treatment regimen.
