I immediately washed my penis with water and asked the girl about HIV status She said she used to have HIV testing every month and she was HIV negetive on the last test(10 days) back. No rashes on ore genitals.
I even started PEP (2 drugs) after talking to doc i.e.
I am eating zidovudine and lamivudine !and I am a smoker so i just wanna know smoke will influence medicine or not?
I was given Epivir, Viread and Zidovudine.
Depakote can also increase levels of other drugs in the body, including diazepam (Valium), ethosuximide (Zarontin), warfarin (Coumadin), and zidovudine (Retrovir). Talk to your doctor before taking these medicines with Depakote.
I would like to know the long term toxic side effects of Lamivudine 150mg and zidovudine 300mg tablet which is taken as a PEP for 28 days.
I write you because I have inquiries about risks of transmission of HIV. Three weeks ago, I had receptive and protected anal sex ( we used condom which did not break) with a guy whom has HIV (I realized of that the next morning of the intercourse). Also, I did fellatio to him (without condom), but there were not ejaculation, and when we were kissing ( eating a chocolate), he did a cut in his mouth lip.
my regimen was Zidovudine+Lamivudine+Aluvia, i mean, i missed one dose of Zidovudine+Lamivudine+Aluvia...you mean I should add one dose more on the end?
No Risk in a "Prick" alone. HIV is transmitted via INJECTION from needles not pricks. You should have still reported this and followed the hospital rules for this type of event.
I certainly swallowed a bit of his cum during the oral sex and the next day discovered he is taking Atripla (medicine for hiv treatment which is said to reduce the viral load to undectable in most cases).
I freaked out and bought lamivudine/zidovudine 150/300mg as a preventive measure (I'm travelling so that was my option). What are my risks? Am I overreacting?
I told my friend about incident then he went to ask the girl to test and it came back negative. 12 hours after incident I was prescribed PEP for a month. The PEP was Avocomb (Lamivudine 150mg & zidovudine 300mg) which required to twice a day for 30 days. There were two late does which were about couple couple hours late.
I took HIV 1/2 ab/ag combo test 31/2 weeks (25 days) after PEP which was came back negative.
Here some questions I have:
1.
m extremely worried from a condom break during anal sex with a women. I am male and uncircumcised. She is from Philippine and were spending vacation here in Brazil. On the other day I've asked her about her HIV status and she won't tell me. After 30hours from the episode I seek expert help an I was submitted to PEP (lamiduvine+zidovudine).
Please tell me what are my chances.
After the exposure, i used a paper toilet in my anus and there were some light blood. I am terribly worried about this incident and that the escort is positive and that precum had gotten into the injured linings... To add to my worries, I did ask the escort (lets call it she) and she said she gets tested every three months and she is negative, but if i was worried, i should start "Zidovudine", after asking how did she know, she said in San Francisco she used it before for PEP.
at the 14th hour of that exposure i started PEP with zidovudine and lamivudine. on 15th day of PEP course, i missed two doses and then completed in 28 days. on 10th week of exposure i made a test with hiv1/2 strip with my finger pricked blood and it shows negative. 1)is there any possibility that the test may become positive after 10th week.
2)should i use venous blood only or capillary blood also reliable.
combivir is adeqaute depending on your risk, most doctors prescribe this, it is the standard regimen, it consists of 2 drugs, lamivudine and zidovudine. PEp is a combination of 2 or 3 drugs which can reduce the chances of hiv infection by up to 85%. If you want more u can get more, but in most low risk encounters like yours combivir works just fine.
I went to a clinic and startednPEP (Zidovudine, Lamidovudine and Epivir), the nausea and vomiting has been really bad, also some diarrhea, but i am dealing with it. But today on day 17 of the Treatment I started running a low temperature, 37.5C / 99.6F, also i feel some enlarge nodes, that might have been there before, but not sure.
I am quite scared as the fever started sudden and with no other symptoms of illness.
