I have been on Truvada for almost 2 years now. For some reasons, the pharmacy couldn't order my prescription until next week, so I might miss my dose for 2 days. I called the doctor to have him do something about this, and he told me that it would be okay to miss it for 2 days since I already reached undetectable HBV DNA for more than a year.
How could I dare to miss my dose since I've been told by him 2 years ago that I couldn't miss it?
Am I going to be ok for missing 2 days?
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.
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?
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.
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. Since I waited for more than 3 hours before I was able to see the doctor, I was already drowsy when the doctor talked to me.
or other adverse events when they used or stopped using Truvada for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), according to an analysis from the iPrEx study presented at the Eighth International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2015) last month in Vancouver, Canada. This is a potential concern because the drugs in Truvada – tenofovir and emtricitabine – are active against HBV as well as HIV.
has anyone been prescribed Truvada? 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 then went to my family doctor and she was going to prescribe truvada plus tiviacy but she changed her mind and said the tiviacy is too toxic.
So she put my on truvada alone will this even reduce my risk?
I cant find anything online if it is effective or not.
After doing some reading, I see that Truvada+Kaletra (or Truvada alone) is a commonly prescribed PeP regimine. I know that Truvada is part of the Stribild combo, but Im not sure why this was the specialists choice? I saw that there is an ongoing clinical trial with regards to Stribild as PeP, which would mean that it is not yet approved for such purposes?
My questions for you are: Will Stribild even be an effective PeP treatment?
I began taking truvada and isentress 65 hours after my potential exposure to HIV and I have taken them for 4 days. But I did not take them at the exact same time everyday. But I am sure I was never late or early by more than 1 hour. Will the effectiveness get affected by this? And is 65 hours too late for PEP? How likely will PEP fail in my case???
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.
I'm taking Truvada now for almost 2 years (Undetectable HBV DNA, e antigen still positive, lam resistance).
Can I switch to Baraclude? It will be easier for my budget since it cost way less coz' I'm planning on moving back home. I'm in the US.
Any possible resistance or virus breakthrough if I decided to switch therapy?
About four weeks ago I had sex with a trans woman with condom use for anal but not oral sex. Half an hour before I took a double dose of truvada. I penetrated her and she penetrated me with a condom, I fellated her and she fellated me. I also rimmed her. After we were finished it became clear that a. she was a prostitute and b. she was hiv + she also gave me covid, thrush on my penis - I believe from the fellatio and an STD that has given me anal leakage.

Dear Teak. I have a question about storage of PEP.
I took truvada and isentress.
But the vinyl of isentress was teared.
I saw an information about storage of Isentress : have to be airtight storage.
Is there some problems about Effect decrease of Isentress?
Im little worried about that.
I read epivir and viread were enough. I took the first dose of those pills 42 hours after exposure but not sure if I should continue.
What would you advise? are those two drugs enough? Is the risk of having unprotected anal sex as a bottom with no ejaculation inside a high risk? I'm iust a bit worried, though everyone is saying why would he lie when he had a risk too. I live in NYC and there is a high rate of HIV here, obviously.
Thanks in advance.

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.
It's just 3 days i've started taking Truvada. And i am already started feeling sideeffects like-
1) numbness in legs, hands and arms (today in kitchen container fell from my hand)
2) headache
3) mainly dizziness
4) tiredness, feeling weak...like i will fall now...
