Avatar f tn At day 22, i took raltegravir from the box but im not sure whether i drank the pill with the water or not. Normally, I remember the pills that I drank through glass of water but i cannot remember this time whether i drank this pill with glass of water or not but i counted pills and i concluded that their numbers are as expected. I searched couple of papers and i concluded not to double the dose in the case of i used that pill.
Avatar f tn 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. You should discuss your concerns with the doctor who prescribed PEP or a pharmacist/chemist. I wish you the best.
Avatar n tn I am currently taking truvada and isentress (raltegravir) is this enough I couldn't get my prescription for dolutegravir filled...is this pep enough?
Avatar n tn I looked but I'm still confused why would he give me a 7 day dose? Why wouldn't he give me 28 days I'm panicking because he gave me my first treatment at the hospital...

Avatar f tn Maybe I'm just being impatient, but I'm sooo anxious for my baby to be here already. I'm only 14wk1d so I know I have a long way to go. My days are pretty busy, filled with classes and work so it's not that I have nothing to do, it's just I'm so impatient, lol. Does anybody else deal with this so early?
Avatar f tn Thank you to all who take the time to answer my questions. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. I’m afraid I’m stupidly exposed someone else to HIV. I had an exposure with a man (I bottomed) 4 days ago and began PEP exactly 24 hours after the possible exposure. I am taking Truvada and Raltegravir. Yesterday, (3 days after exposure and 2 days on PEP) I had protected sex with a female partner (I, the insertive male) and when I ejaculated I am afraid some spilled off the base of the condom.
Avatar n tn I am a RN and I was giving a patient a SQ insulin shot in the back of her arm, she went to get up as i was finished and the needle went into my left thumb. My heart sank and so did my life. I knew she was HIV+ so i was freaking out right away. As soon as it happened i bled the site and washed it with soap and alcohol. I started PEP 2 hrs later (truvada, norvir, raltegravir, and preszita), my initial results are negative.
Avatar f tn My whole life has been affected by this and it is hard to function normally getting out of bed is hard most days and i just want to stay at home and do nothing i am so tired all the time and i battle with anxiety and panic attacks, and i still have suicidal thoughts, i have small children and my husband had to give up work to help me, i feel so guilty because i have lost all interest. I suppose i know medication is maybe needed. Again thankyou for your input.
Avatar f tn Have any of you had to have duties amended at work due to your pregnancy.
Avatar m tn t look like blisters anymore 9 days since I last took the valocyvir. Does this med work that fast and once there is formation of blisters will they always pop or can the medicine prevent this even though I only took it for 2 days?.
Avatar f tn I just wanted to add, I never knew my exs status and we always used condoms so that’s why im so scared about this time, the rash doesn’t concern you at all? Because I know early hiv causes rash.
4838572 tn?1367706719 If working is causing braxton hicks does that mean its getting close for me to stop working? I'll be 32 weeks on Tuesday but I only get contractions during work or when I get off and lay down I work at a fast food place but its not really strenuous I'm just on my feet and running around a lot.
