Common Questions and Answers about Viramune nevirapine
viramune
Nurse advised me to take ZIDOLAM-N as PEP for 28 days. After continuing for 3 days i visited a doctor and he told me that Nevirapine should not be used for PEP but since i already started the PEP, he advised me to continue the same medication and asked to monitor closely the side effects of the drug. Now today Friday i am experiencing some pain in the upper abdomen.
Is there any possibility that i can change the PEP drug to avoid nevirapine, please Suggest?
Next day,6 th october, I went to hospital, met a Aids specialist, told me yes I had a risk and I received combivir + viramune 4 days then he told me to only take combivir for the last remaining 24 days of treatment.
This day I was checked and no HIV/siphilis/hepatits detected on the 6th of october.
Everything else good, ALAT, SGPT etc.. Treatment started 16 hours later after risk. I do take a lot of vitamin B, ginseng and selenium especially before winter.
I am going to the US in 2 days, if I cannot find a way to get pep here, could I take his ARVs just until then as a temporary measure? He says he takes nevirapine and tenofivir/lamivudine blend.
Any advice really appreciated! If my risk is very low I would prefer not to take pep but I suspect I may be best advised to do so.
If it makes a difference, I am prone to have a tiny amount of blood(I think from tears) on toilet paper when I use the bathroom so that may make it more risky?
Thanks!
my hubby does not have hiv we have been together for 11 years an i ALWAYS TAKE MY MEDS WHICH ARE COMIVIR AND VIRAMUNE SO MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE RISK OF HIM EVER CONTRACTING THIS FROM ME?
I noticed that after no more than 20s and did an immediate cleaning, there was no visible blood and I have no visible lesions such as ulcers. Few hours later, exactly 16h I took my first dose of PEP (combivir + viramune) 4 days, then the remaining 24 days of the course, I took only combivir. That day I was also checked to hepatits, and syphilis with of course hiv; all was clean.
I spoke to the hiv specialist he did tell me, I should be ok, fine...
I'm checking on the net because there are already available drugs for HIV here in the Philippines like Viramune/Aptivus but no tenofovir yet, maybe i'll email the pharma if they know or have tenofovir, i'am seeing one of their branch in India Mumbai. it's possible to have tenofovir (tenvir) produced by cipla.

As I type this I am shaking in fear.. I really need your Professional advise on this.
On Saturday morning last week I met a girl in Cambodia. After a few drinks together I took her back to my hotel & we had sex. I used a condom throughout the intercourse, however, after I ejaculated & pulled out I noticed the condom broke. It must have broke near the end as when we changed positions I noticed it was intact each time.
He said that he is Undetectable for years now he also showed me his meds Truvada and Nevirapine... And I asked if he had Stds he said none because if he does have it. It would be detrimental to his health...
Medicines for HIV
Some medicines used to treat HIV (antiretroviral drugs) make the pill less effective. Examples of these drugs include Nevirapine and Nelfinavir- and Ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitors (Darunavir, Fosamprenavir, Lopinavir, Tipranavir). There are antiretroviral drugs that do not mess with the pill, including Tenofovir. If you take an HIV medicine, talk with your health care provider about the risks and benefits of your birth control options.
St.
HIV infection was asymptomatic with a CDC classification of A2, and he was treated with lamivudine, zidovudine and nevirapine. In May 2003, as his viral load increased and the CD4 count fell, the treatment was changed to tenofovir (245 mg/day), didanosine (250 mg/day) and abacavir (600 mg/day). Two weeks later, the patient had an episode of vomiting. His serum creatinine was 2.67 mg/dl (237 µmol/l). Because of deteriorating renal function, he was admitted to hospital 1 week later.
