No,not for such a short period like that.
I recently started the Norvir, Reyataz, Truvada combo. This is my first time taking "the meds" after being hiv + for 20 years. I have been on them for only 11 days. I have weird side effects: headaches, queasy stomach, and fatigue/weakness. I told my doctor, and he said, to "tough it out for another week, and he'll see if he needs to change the combination, or switch meds.
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?
you were given the starter pack and i would assume you were told to follow up with a dr.
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 took the first dose 25 hours post exposure. I just took my second dose. The side effects are moderate so far. I have a headache, a great deal of fatigue, and loose stools. I just generally feel like I have an awful hangover, but Im assuming it gets better. I can handle the side effects, but I just want to make sure there is value in continuing treatment. What would you recommend?
As for the two doses, studies indicate that 28 days is required to give the maximum benefit. Side effects I would suspect will be minimal. Truvada carries a risk of hepatotoxicity but this is not a concern after two doses.
Your risk is fairly low so take a 4th Gen Duo test at 28 days to give you some relief.
it is a different interferon from previous one and not marketed already, the researcher said it will take 5 years for use on hbv but will be available very soon for hcv so off label therapy will be possible
the bad is the old producer of interferon and entecavir bought the small company who discovered interferon lambda so they will slow down availability of interferon for hbv probably since it might damage entecavir market
I am taking Truvada also and Raltagravir. I asked my doctor whether I should change to Atripla but he said Raltagravir has the least side effects. However after 8 years i had two bouts of slight night sweats and am wondering what this means. What is ur CD like? Perhaps checking that may help clarify you anxieties or changing your boosters to Raltagrair might make a difference.
As of now I am pretty sure I am HIV NEG as usual,(baselines will tell)- however I have had ALOT! of side effects and on day 5 of meds... Somedays im not sure I could take the side effects anymore...How permanent are these Side effects according to medical stats ?. I have heard some are permanent. I have had extreme fatigue on the meds...Depression, ringing in the ears, but EXTREMELY TIRED....however I am trying to stay on course...
I started taking about 60 hours afterwards, wondering if this is still effective?
