Common Questions and Answers about Truvada hiv

truvada

Avatar m tn Hi, if a hiv negative person is taking truvada and contracts corona virus, will they be able to fight off the corona virus? Or will taking truvada negatively affect their ability to fight off the corona virus? Is their immune system compromised while taking truvada? Or can they take truvada without any fears of being able to fight off corona virus.

Avatar m tn 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...
Avatar m tn The question is with this one possible exposure and taking Truvada within the first 12 hours of exposure, what are the chances that i was infected by HIV, others. I was thinking of going to the messuage polar again and seeing if the girl would be willing to take an oral HIV test (20 minute wait time). Pretty sure she would for the money.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn After several hours going from a hospital to another, I finally could get a Truvada pill in the very deadline limit of the treatment, probably between the 72nd and 74th hour after the sex. I was quite desperate and I felt that the staff in this hospital wasn't too much prepared to take cases like mine with HIV risk envolved. It took too many hours, even though I tried to explain them the gravity about this situation.
Avatar m tn Hi T1 Just google Truvada, you will find all the info you need.
Avatar f tn PEP should be a combination of three different HIV medications. Truvada is a combination of two and as such truvada alone is insufficient. I would test using an HIV DUO test along with an RNA PCR at 2 weeks after completing the truvada. If these tests are negative then it is likely that you are HIV negative but you should test again at a further four weeks and finally at 3 months after completing PEP.
Avatar n tn I am a hepatitis B patient currently taking the HIV anti-viral drug Truvada. My hep B is very controlled right now and its viral loads undetectable. I was wondering if my situation suggest a possible infection and whether Truvada can possibly influence the symptoms somehow.
Avatar m tn Furthermore, there is virtually no risk of HIV from receipt of oral sex and, IF your partner had HIV, your risk of HIV form a single brief episode of unprotected intercourse is less than 1 in 1000. You then began to take post-exposure prophylaxis, apparently without a health care provider's supervision. I would not have recommended PEP for you but of course, if you want it, I am sure you can get it.
Avatar m tn Yes it is only approved for hiv, just like Truvada was never approved for hbv. But off label use is always possible and Truvada was also used frequently by hepatologists for difficult cases.
Avatar m tn Hello I am a 32 year old male and i had anal receptive sex (i was the bottom). The condom ended up breaking! He noticed it, pulled out and put a new one on. He did not ejaculate in me, not sure if there was precum, and not sure how long it had been broken, the exposure was between 5-10mins. Now I'm freaking out that i have HIV. The guy said hes HIV negative and was tested 2 weeks ago but im still freaking out. I went to an urgent care and they prescribed me truveda for 30 days.
Avatar n tn As best we know, it is impossible to have symptoms due to HIV with negative tests for both HIV antibody and for the virus, either by PCR or by p24 antigen. In other words, to the best of my knowledge, your negative Duo test proves you are not infected with HIV, even in the face of PEP.

Avatar m tn absolutely off label, one might even think about truvada plus immune globulins plus vaccine since truvada has been used after transplant to prevent reinfection and it worked on 100% persons it would be interesting to see a study on antivirals to prevent hbv after exposure but i guess it would be too difficult to make such a study and especially to find the subjects so transplantation might be the closest to this situation considering transplant recepients have a worst situation because they hav
Avatar m tn Hi all....after 7 days of HIV pep I'm accusing itching and red spots (not exactly rash) on arms... taking truvada+norvir+prezista It can be a symptom of acute infection or prophylaxis?
Avatar f tn Ive been dating this guy which I really like for a while and we had sex with a condom once, then he told me he is HIV positive and is taking truvada, I like him n we r dating but me being HIV negative I can't help but worry if I got it already. What is the probability that I got HIV if he is on truvada and we used a condom? He mentioned he is not rcontagious n has the least aggressive form of HIV. He's been on treatment for 29 years and is undetectable.
Avatar m tn Truvada should not be taken in combination with certain other HIV drugs. These include the meds that make up Truvada — Emtriva and Viread — and other meds that contain them, such as Atripla, Complera, and Stribild. You also shouldn’t take Truvada with drugs containing lamivudine, an HIV drug marketed under the brand name Epivir. If you’re HIV-negative, you’re most likely not taking these, but you should have the information.
