Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn We've all heard stories of people who have had kidney, liver and bone density issues while using Truvada/PrEP, but there are other reasons to stay away from this drug. After approximately six months of using this drug to prevent HIV, I noticed my face was changing. My cheeks were sinking in. A type of facial atrophy. I had always associated this look with men with AIDS, and now I was beginning to look like I had the disease as well.
Avatar m tn I am diagnosed with chronic Hep B and on Truvada for more than 5 years now. The disease is under control and virus is almost undetectable. I am going on business trip to a country where Hep B vaccine is a requirement for the visa. Can I take Hep B vaccine? Will it cause me any harm? Will vaccine interact with Truvada and have any side effect? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thnaks.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn I'll start 1st by saying I'm a gay male who sought out Truvada as PrEp as a way to further eliminating my risk of HIV. Late October 2015 I sought out an infectious disease Dr who was knowledgeable of Truvada as Prep. Prior to him giving a prescription I was required to have a full blood panel along with a HIV test also screened for Hepatitis. This is when I discovered I was Infected with Chronic HBV. I had elevated alt & ast as well as a viral load in the millions.
Avatar m tn I have 20 years and I have HIV positive person. I drink medicines already 4 months. I use drugs Truvada and Efavirenz Teva. Please tell me how to code your disease treated? Whether you are at injection instead of pills?
Avatar m tn The antiretroviral regimen used in PEP is used to treat AIDS . And bro you know better then me of AIDS.
Avatar n tn alinia is off label but if you like you can follow our posts and try it, it is very cheap, free of sides, no resistance issues and you can try it even if inactive because it is active against hbsag and hbeag antigens but don't expect easy seroconversion on monotherapy if hbsag is high it is also important to know your hbvdna quantity, if hbe pos or neg to predict results on alinia-Low hbsag, hbeab positive, low hbvdna quantity are good to start.
Avatar m tn I have a couple of questions about pep and testing. I had a high risk MSM encounter I was the receptive partner and the condom came off. The partner who was anonymous, later found out a csw as well, claimed that they "should" be negative but hadn't tested lately. I was prescribed PEP (truvada,tivicay) initiated 25 hours post exposure on the reccomendation of the hiv infectious disease counselor in my area.

Avatar f tn I am 22 and have just found out I have kidney disease. I do not want to tell my family, because I know they wouldn't deal with it very well.

Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar m tn 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.

Avatar f tn Hi there, about a month and a half ago I started feeling like something was always under both my ribs and it has been persistently like this and it's really uncomfortable, I'm also always itchy at night and have been feeling really dizzy and lightheaded constantly. I've went to my doctors and they took my bloods and all that came up was that my potassium levels were slightly high.

Avatar f tn Hi recently I had pain on my adominal, usually the pain is on the right upper abdomen and the pain seem to move to lower left and right. I haven't did my kidney function test yet but I already did liver function test and my ALT is 9 U/L does this low ALT indicate that I have kidney issues?
387767 tn?1345872027 Be sure to discuss all recommended vaccines with your veterinarian. A cat with kidney disease or kidney failure should not be vaccinated at all. Long-term feeding of an all-dry-food diet is also suspected as a factor in Chronic Renal Failure. Cats' kidneys are highly efficient and adapted to life in the desert, where they would get most or all of their water from eating their prey.
