truvada and kidney

If so I would like to know how you are doing with it? and if it is helping your hepatitis b? I have stage 4 kidney disease. My hepitologist just prescribed this med. My labs were not good. He hopes to get the virus under control so I can possibly get a kidney transplant. This would be a kidney from a cadaver donator, someone who had hepatitis b. So I am about to begin my journey. I don't really understand the lab numbers, he said something about 151,000? I am a little confused.

I went to health care center today, and explained the situation to doctor I did a rapid test there as control, and which is negative. and then doctor prescribed me Truvada as PEP for a month, and asked me to do a RNA after finish the Truvada. I keep searching "Effectiveness of Truvada alone as PEP" in internet, I am not sure if this is a normal practice for issuing Truvada alone.

You are correct that Truvada is a combination of tenofovir and emtricitabine, and is generally prescribed for patients with HIV. Being a HBV forum, most of us know very little about Truvada except that it is prescribed off-label for HBV by some doctors, and that it is recommended for HBV patients who develop resistance to Tenofovir.

I have just been diagnosed with hep b recently. They started me on viread. Well, my hep b viral is slowly going down but my liver enzymes is slowly going up. My Dr is really concern and constantly doing blood work on me. I'm about to get a kidney and hiv panel. I've been researching online and it says viread can increase liver enzymes and eventually people have to switch to a new med. my question : what other meds out there like viread and can viread increaSe my liver enzymes.

I have been experiencing severe itching and redness in my face after the daily dose of Truvada, which I tried to take Zyrtec for, which helped a little, albeit not much. Since I was able to visit the hospital in Bangkok just in time for the 72 hour limit, and the time at the hospital was around noon back in UK, I started taking Truvada+Aluvia at once, meaning that I am now taking Truvada + Aluvia around noon and Aluvia around midnight.

Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), a new formulation that reaches higher levels in cells but allows for lower dosing, was as effective as the current tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) formulation but had less impact on markers of kidney function and bone turnover, researchers reported at the 53rd Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC 2013) this week in Denver.

Hi Dr,I had unprotected sex with a gay three days ago.But atually,he did not totally penetrate me,just penetrated half of his balanus with less than 30 seconds,and then I pull him out,no cum no blooding.Before his penis penetrate me,he sucked my anus and penetrate me with his finger for minutes. I am worried about his precum and maybe the penetration cause tiny wound in my anus.It's the first time I tried to be bottom.And yesterday I terribly find haemorrhoids around my anus.

Will truvada and and a respiratory antibiotics have interqction/ side effects if simultaneously on both medicine? or which antibiotics and safe with truvada for respiratory infection?

Hi Thanks for all the help provided by the blog. I started PEP after a relatively risky exposure. However, I started Turvada 42 hours after exposure. I've read that Truvada has a limited effectiveness after 24 hours. Is this accurate? I also missed a dose on day 10 and from day 16 got general lymphadenopathy, headaches and other ARS-like symptoms. Can anyone help?

and im sure theres lots of people taking truvada who would want to know. and i wasnt asking if truvada helps with corona virus. i was asking if it inhibits your ability to fight it off.

Now i saw your hbvdna inthe other post and use of truvada was correct, the viral load is too high and both hbv vaccine and hbig may fail if it is not reduced

1 Truvada and 2 Kaletra at 7am while 2 Kaletra at 7pm. Yesterday, I took 1 Truvada at 7am but since I was in a hurry after dinner, I accidentally took one more Truvada last night. I tried to vomit it up but I was able to vomit only a part (dissolved part) of it. Because of panic, I forgot to take Kaletra last night. I rushed to the A&E and asked the doctor's advice on what to do.

He also said he’s been on the Truvda Prep for 2 months and takes it daily. Anyway, I’m still concerned and would like to know: 1. How effective is the Truvada Prep that he is currently taking in preventing getting HIV? 2. I can get tested using a HIV 4th Generation Duo Antigen/Antibody Test at my doctor’s office. How long should I wait to have that test performed for accurate results? Thank you.

Truvada is 100% effective as PrEP, or nearly so, as long as it is taken properly and there are good amounts of drug in the system at the time of exposure. Truvada is the main medicine that has been studied and recommended for PrEP. It is a combination of two drugs, tenofovir and emtricitabine. Maybe some things you read used these names, so you didn't see the Truvada brand name. I don't know if taking PPI drugs interferes with effectiveness against PrEP.

tdf has zero sides effects on breastfeeding, it is the most used antiviral on pregnancy as regards truvada i dont know but i guess it is the same because truvada is tenofovir+ftc and ftc is not a drug with significant sides effect at all

Since the chances a quite low Can I stop taking pep or can I stop kaletra and remain with truvada take it upto 28days.coz kaletra gives me diarrhea.

I am a gay male and have taken Truvada as PrEP daily since last November. This past week, I ran out of my Truvada after taking it on Tuesday morning. Prior to that, I had taken it daily for more than a month. I did not take Truvada on Wednesday or Thursday. I changed insurances and wanted to wait to pick up my refill until I got my copay and assistance straightened out. On Friday I had anal sex as the bottom with a man I know who says he is negative.

my window period for pap closing tomorrow and i am only taking truvada, and i m reading that usually truvada taken with other hiv prophylaxis meds, so this is what i wanted to know if truvada only is enough for prophylaxis. i m calling a doctor but he is not picking up...

An international study found the antiviral combination of tenofovir and emtricitabine (Truvada) was most effective in treating younger adult hepatitis B patients with high viral load and normal ALT levels. Doctors historically have not treated this group because there appeared to be no sign of liver damage. However, doctors now know that high viral loads may increase patients’ risk of liver damage and cancer as they age, despite their normal ALT levels.

I was off of meds for over four year ...a drug holiday because of the previous meds which made me sick but now I'm on the 3 medications ( reyataz, truvada and norvor). Its been a over three years and so far so good with a healthy diet and exercise and no visible side effects. My cd4's are up and viral load is undetectable. Not sure if it makes a difference at what time of day you take yours meds but I take mine after breakfast.
