I am eating zidovudine and lamivudine !and I am a smoker so i just wanna know smoke will influence medicine or not?
I ate lamivudine and zidovudine at 22 hours late after the behavior.Does it will work well?
and im on warfarin ( blood thinner)? any info on this..thanks james......i have d.vt. had a pulmonary embolism in 2000.
I was given Epivir, Viread and Zidovudine.
Also, I did fellatio to him (without condom), but there were not ejaculation, and when we were kissing ( eating a chocolate), he did a cut in his mouth lip. I did not have any cut in my oral mucosa, but I was receiving treatment for peptic ulcers because of Helicobacter Pylori infection. He was diagnosed by June 20th, 2011 ( when his viral load was 76,500 copies/ml).
I am a heterosexual male, had unprotected vaginal intercourse with an African woman (in Africa) that is confirmed to be HIV positive. All indicates she had a high viral load, due the conditions of her face skin(several warp looking / bubbles).
It was a one time event, I am circumcised and started the PEP (Zidovudine/Lamivudine + Ritonavir/Lopinavir) 9 hours after exposure.
Two questions : 1 - would PEP be effective even if the source has a high viral load?
my regimen was Zidovudine+Lamivudine+Aluvia, i mean, i missed one dose of Zidovudine+Lamivudine+Aluvia...you mean I should add one dose more on the end?
No Risk in a "Prick" alone. HIV is transmitted via INJECTION from needles not pricks. You should have still reported this and followed the hospital rules for this type of event.
Condom broke and therefore, unprotected sex continued for at least 4 minutes, the woman was confirmed HIV positive. In about 59 hours and 14 minutes, i started administering PEP (Combination of Zidovudine & Lamivudine)
1. What is the chance of infection after 4 minutes unprotected sex?
2.What is the chance that the PEP i will administer for 28 days will be effective at 59 hours and 14 minutes postexposure?
3. Is it advisable to have HIV test after 3 months from the date PEP are started?
On may 20, I had one possible exposure with involve with broken condom with KTV girl in Cambodia. I asked the girl about her HIV status she replied to me, "I want you feel scary for couple months". I told my friend about incident then he went to ask the girl to test and it came back negative. 12 hours after incident I was prescribed PEP for a month. The PEP was Avocomb (Lamivudine 150mg & zidovudine 300mg) which required to twice a day for 30 days.
m extremely worried from a condom break during anal sex with a women. I am male and uncircumcised. She is from Philippine and were spending vacation here in Brazil. On the other day I've asked her about her HIV status and she won't tell me. After 30hours from the episode I seek expert help an I was submitted to PEP (lamiduvine+zidovudine).
Please tell me what are my chances.
Hi,
I was prescribed Combivir for a PEP regimen as a precaution following a possible exposure. From what I can gather on the web, Combivir is typically prescribed in tandem with another drug. Was the doctor unwise to prescribe the Combivir only? Thank you.
sir,
i went to prostitute and used condom while doing sex with her. at that time on my right hand's middle finger, there is a 24 hour old small abrasion of 1cmx1cm which was not bleed, and i removed the condom with my right hand. then i feared that the hiv virus may enter through the abrasion. i don't know whether she had hiv or not. at the 14th hour of that exposure i started PEP with zidovudine and lamivudine. on 15th day of PEP course, i missed two doses and then completed in 28 days.
I went to a clinic and startednPEP (Zidovudine, Lamidovudine and Epivir), the nausea and vomiting has been really bad, also some diarrhea, but i am dealing with it. But today on day 17 of the Treatment I started running a low temperature, 37.5C / 99.6F, also i feel some enlarge nodes, that might have been there before, but not sure.
I am quite scared as the fever started sudden and with no other symptoms of illness.
Anyone know any further info about this?? I am in a similar situation.....
This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/256634'>HIV DNA PCR test after PEP</a>.
it has been post 36hrs of exposure and i am planning to take a pep called zidolam--lamivudine 150 mg, zidovudine 300 mg. what are my chances of it being helpful, the escort i have spoken to who has told me she has been tested a month before(my paranoia here causes disbelief) and assures me she is clean! i have spoken to her madam as well who tried to reassure me to saying they take immense care+again i cannot believe this.
2. what are my chances of contracting hiv given the above?...

Studies which show the fallacy of relying on anecdotal evidence as opposed to carefully controlled study insofar as HIV transmission risk is concerned:

I am unsure. I inserted my fingers In both of them and I did have a near bleeding crack in my cuticle on one of my fingers. I couldn't believe it and my heart stopped when I saw it. I did use that finger. I also performed oral on one of them for approx 30 seconds. I realized quickly who I was with and stopped. She was freshly shaved 5 minutes before we started. I did have a small sore on my lip from where I bit my lip and it was healing.
Hi! Last week, in Dubai, I had sex with a commercial sex worker I suspect of Africa descent. During penile to vaginal intercourse, my condom broke. Post the break I was inside for 10 seconds or less after which I withdrew and washed with soap and water.
There was no blood; however there were vaginal secretions normal to sex which did have contact with my penis (I am uncircumcised). Overall contact was less than 10 seconds.
Dr, I couldnt find an exact case like this, not sure if due to my wording. I tried receptive protected anal sex with a transexual escort but stop immediately from the pain in the anus, but afterwards i had receptive unprotected penile-anal rubbing for a couple of minutes and for a couple of seconds there was pressure applied but stop again from pain and stopped. After the exposure, i used a paper toilet in my anus and there were some light blood.
Also, are these reactions a definitive indicator that the drugs are fighting an HIV infection in the body OR would anybody (as in, those who were never actually exposed to HIV) be prone to feeling those effects of the drugs?
3) Does it matter if it's 10 AM or 10 PM daily that I am taking the Truvada? I have been taking it at night because that was initially when it was given to me at the ER, but later I saw the hospital's paper instructions say "take at 10 AM.
I met with this girs at a bar in Bangkok and took her for paid sex in my hotel. I had sex with her on last thursday with condom on. I in the influence of alcohol ended up having sex again while in the shower but I did not ejaculate in her vagina? I am scared to hell and worried. I have not met this girl earlier and don't know what her HIV status is.
I searched internet and found that a combination of zidovudine 300mg and lamivudine twice daily is used for PEP.
