Dear doctor I had a live sexual intercourse with my girl friend and I started taking PEP but only took one tablet for one day and stopped after realizing that she was negative because we tested together with her twice , but I wanted to carry out a test following that exposure, so after how long can I test putting the fact that I just took PEP for one day and stopped

Currently DESCOVY 25mg TAF plus 200mg emtricitabine is alead approved for hiv in the USA and canada. It could well be used for hbv, most likely at 1/2 tablet a day for hbv for patients who do not tolerate viread.
the emtricitabine. ..also called FTC, is also used in TRUVADA at the same dose, which is frequently used by hepatologists for patients with a suboptimal response to viread.
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.?
The most common treatment in the US, Canada and the UK is Truvada. This is what is known as a "fixed-dose combination tablet" combining emtricitabine and tenofovir from the NRTI class, and raltegravir, from the integrase inhibitor class. There ARE alternative drugs available and possibly in Thailand they use lamivudine in place of raltegravir. I am definitely NOT a chemist, so I can't tell you for sure if the combination you're taking is appropriate.

Sir,I had a unprotected sex with a sex worker due to condom break, i found it after sex over. Its almost 35 days ago. Just after exposure, i started Truvada once a day after approx. 6 hrs from exposure. On next i tracked sex worker for testing elisa hiv thats come back negetive. I completed 28 course of truvada. LFT,KFT are normal that done after 32 days of exposure, but CBC having high lavel lymphocytes 49.3% and low Eosinophils .90%.
ve been on Kaletra/Truvada since 36-8 hours after. Also been taking a histamine based sleeping tablet every night.
I've had numb hands and arms occurring at night since day 10, along with night sweats. No fever during the day, no other symptoms.
I know that peripheral neuropathy is rare in both meds and ARS. Since I am never, ever ill normally (and I'm not imagining these palpable symptoms) I'm 95% sure the symptoms are either meds or ARS.
I was given Viread 300mg 1 tablet a day and Combivir 300 mg 1 tablet twice a day. I took this till Wednesday afternoon to where I went to the HIV Clinic at the hospital.
The doctor changed my medicine to Truvada 200MG-300MG once daily and Kaletra 200MG-50MG 2 tablets twice a day. I started this medicine on Wednesday night. I however misread the label and then took only 1 Kaletra instead of the 2. In the morning of Thursday I took 1 Kaletra.
Started PEP at roughly 56 hours, was prescribed Truvada and Kaletra (those orange ones). However in such panic I took the one Truvada and stupidly only one Kaletra (I was meant to take two), the second tablet I took at roughly 68 hours. I then realised my stupidity and the next day (about 80 hours) I began to take the correct dosage (one truvada and two Kaletra twice daily).
Tested negative for all other STD's inc. HIV on roughly 12th Jan.
I am looking to speak with anyone taking the med combo of Norvir, Truvada, and Reyetaz. Wondering if anyone has noted side affects of these drugs....
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.
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.
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.
