truvada
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...
Are these normal, moreover i'm pregnant and have high cholesterol didn't felt before taking Truvada?
Is Truvada making me worse or strengthening?
Should i report this to Dr.?
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?
3. When the doctors prescribed the medication I ended up taking 4x the recommended dose of Aluvia. This was due to me having received four cans of Aluvia,not realizing that each can was meant to last 1 week.
Approximately 12 hours after the possible exposure, I visited a local STD clinic and they started me on the first 4 days of PEP taking Truvada 1x daily and Kaletra 2 x 2 daily. On Tuesday I am supposed to go in and pick up the remainder of the 28 days.
Thank you all for this amazing forum. I had a lapse in judgement and went to a bath house in Spain about 10 days ago. I am a homosexual male with recent known HIV negativity. After a few drinks, I wandered down to the darker area and had a few interactions (no anal sex, just fondling/kissing) with some of the clientele. At the end of the night, I met a man with whom I had insertive anal sex (I was the "top"). He placed a condom on me and took it off at the end.
Due to very high risk demographic and the area, I was put on truvada for a month, due to open wounds in the mouth, having not successfully found out her status. Her age group is about 25% HIV infected, I should have thought about that before. I'm still friends with her though she is scared to get tested.
I wouldn't have asked you again were in not for the worsening symptoms I'm going through.
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?
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.
In the meantime, I have found some information that addresses your question specifically, but I still rigorously urge you to discuss THIS and all your questions with your doctor.

Hi, after being exposed to HIV 15 days ago, I'm on day 14 of PEP (Truvada & Isentress). I wonder if facial lipoatrophy (sunken cheeks, temples, eyes, etc) can develop as early as two weeks of being taking these meds. I'm a male model and I make a living of my face. Last week I was fired from 3 photo-shoots in a row. I don't know if I'm really experiencing facial fat waste, or if my face just reflects all the emotional distress I've been through for the past 2 weeks.
At 3:30 to 4 AM last night I topped a guy in a dark room at a bar. I was very drunk and did not use a condom. It lasted maybe all of 30 seconds to a minute-- I recall about four pumps.
Knowing that it's a risk, I went to an LGBT community health clinic that works with HIV positive folks daily and got PEP. The physician's assistant initially was going to prescribe Stribild but there was an issue with prescriptions so she gave me a script for Truvada and said it was fine.
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.
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.
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.
Hi! This question is for an expert or someone who has information from reliable sources on net. Can I change from Kaletra to Istentress after few days during the course of 28 day PEP period? This is in addition to Truvada.
I am in area where I do not have any good access to knowledgeable doctor. Is there any paid online service available for such consultation in any country? It is a pity that in most places HIV is still a big taboo and no good doctors are available.
