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 wondered because they only ever had me take the antipsychotics I've taken once a day and I always heard everyone else talk about taking them twice a day. I'm only awake 12 hours or less a day and the current one I'm on has a half life of 3 days so I guess it's kind of pointless for me to take it twice a day.
Oh god this is my worst nightmare. I have dreaded this day ever since i became a nurse and hoped i would never have to go through something like this. 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.
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’ve been swimming for almost 2 years now so my heart rate went down from 60 to 45 and I read it’s an indicator of a strong healthy heart. About three years ago I started feeling once in a while a stronger heart beat and after seeking medical advice I was diagnosed with a light Mitral VP (3mm), nothing serious doctors said, treadmill showed nothing, I was advised however to avoid heavy weightlifting.
read some of the posts on this site MANY people here wish that they had NEVER started the one or two pill cycle just my opinion plus you might find your game is better without the cloud of the pills who knows my PCP is a super golfer and was almost broke in half in a serious auto accident and he eats advil three times a day he knows what can happen yet prescribed me NORCO for back pain and a few broken bones along a 15 year period yet always told me about the advil NOW I know why I got hooked o
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?
Also, I've been given Truvada once a day. Does that sound about right?
If a slow release is available (affordable, usually cost more for the meds I have taken) trying 50 mg once a day, or normal release 25 mg twice a day seems like a reasonable discussion to have with your EP.
I was taking Propafenone (generic Rnythmol) 225 mg every 8 hours (yes, three times a day) to keep me in normal sinus rhythm following a successful electrocardioversion.
My question is if I miss the last 4 days (3 pills of truvada and 6/7 of raltegravir), would that be a problem?
Since then, he and I had talked (exchanged numbers), and he assured me he was HIV negative and had not had a partner since a negative test a few months prior. Due to my guilt and anxiety, I searched for PEP in Europe, which was IMPOSSIBLE. I eventually was able to obtain Truvada, which I started about 55hr after "exposure". I plan to take for the full 28 days.

Hello,
So just over 3 weeks ago I was incredibly drunk and made the insanely stupid mistake of having unprotected insertive anal intercourse with a transsexual escort. Just after the act, I realized what I had done. I asked the CSW if she knew her status and she said she was negative (I know that doesn’t mean anything and is almost discomforting because if she is she is most likely not on ARVs).
t even supposed to have sex every day if you are trying to conceive, much less more than once a day. Having sex daily has a depressing effect on the sperm count. (Not to mention that having sex on demand is a great big libido killer, taking all the fun away from having sex.) My doctor told me that every third day is optimal. I was too nervous to go that rarely, so we went every other day.
Blu is right, it's highly unlikely you would be physically dependant on the Klonopin at this point. Especially because you were only dosing once a day, so it didn't get a chance to optimally build up in your system.
You may experience some very mild symptoms, but I would doubt that. Best thing to do to ensure a comfortable discontinuation is ask your doc for a quick taper plan.
Im now 25 weeks and smoke once a day. I have alot of women in my life who tell me they smoked heavy with all thier kids. I feel bad that im smoking and cant stop. They have told me that stopping smoking would be more hazardous to my baby because of the stress of quitting. Does anyone have any more advice?
