I believe that the side effects of the noon doses of Truvada + Aluvia are far worse than the side effects from Aluvia alone. Therefore, I would like to switch so that I take Truvada before bedtime (as most others).
Some questions:
1. What are the chances of me having acquired HIV?
2. How can I change from taking Truvada in the noon to taking Truvada at midnight? For instance, should I do two doses of Truvada in one 24 hour period or should I do no doses in one 24 hour period to get it right?
Hello all! This is my first post. I am currently in Bangkok for work and I went out last night, had too many drinks and ended up sleeping with a hooker. I have been so distraught over this. I barely eat today and I have yet to sleep.
I did use a condom but there was a period of time before I put the condom on where the woman was grinding on my penis. I was very much intoxicated so I can't honestly say for sure if my penis penetrated her without the condom.
No,not for such a short period like that.
m currently taking Kaletra and Combivir.
I'm on the combo Kaletra and Truvada for the past 4 years and now have bad Peripheral Neuropathy and a severe symmetrical rash on my arms and legs to go with it. The rash has been treated with steroids, antibiotics, and antihistamines for the last three months and does not go away. It is painful and driving me nuts to boot. Any suggestions? Thank you.
I had very bad side effects like dizziness , nausea, vomiting and also stomach problems. Sometime, I couldn't wake up. I am so weak. By the way, I have Viread( Tenofovir ) 123 mg expired date 1.201,anyone who wants it I will post it. I didn't use it anymore so I can post it free. I also have Tenofovir 245 mg but it is expired 8.2013 so may be it is not good anymore. I used it both of the only 3 tabts each and I stopped.
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.
It seemed like no semen had left the condom but my doctor gave me 30 days on Truvada and Tivicay (PEP) and it was 10 hours after the incident. I have now been given 10 days on Doxycycline to make sure no STDs will appear.
My question is: is it safe to take Doxycycline and Truvada/Tivicay at the same time. Do they interferrer with each other or not?
She advised me to continue monitoring my condition and warn me about possible resistance. I thought truvada (tenofovir) has no resistance up to now.
I asked her what I should do when I develop resistance to Truvada. She said she may ADD (or switch, I forgot exactly what she said) Baracude. This surprised me a bit because I thought Baraclude would not work on LAM resistance. Am I wrong?
I rinsed my penis and swabbed with alcohol after. I also commenced Truvada that evening ( approx 4 hrs post exposure) . Is this adequate . I have now been on it for a week . I was considering commencing kaletra as well . Is my risk high ? would you recommend anything else?
thanks for advice
worried !!
This recommendation would be based on your rather low risk for infection as described above, the possible side effects of the medicine and the cost. At this point cost is no longer and issue and you have an idea of what the side effects are going to be (they may get better over time or worse), so the question now becomes how concerned are you? As I said above, your statistical risk for infection is low.
I hope this helps.
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.
