Cakephp: This is serious misinformation. A big problem that some people may actually read you and believe this and start acting on its premise This is false. While PEP has shown to dramatically reduce the risk of HIV transmission by stopping the progression of the virons from the dendritic cells to the lymph nodes where the infection would become permanent, there has been several cases of PEP failures even when the medication was properly taken and no further exposure made Infact the success of PEP has been estimated at just 87% while some studies even estimated less For the OP I am surprised someone actually prescribed PEP for this exposure which is not PEP INDICATED. There is virtually no risk for this exposure and as such PEP is certainly NOT warranted. The only positive for you here is that the Travuda would serve as PreP for you Even if PEP is warranted, Travuda alone is NOT the best medication to be used. For the seriousness of this topic I would break protocol and state the best line of defense used as PEP. I know some would still not go to a professional when they have an exposure but patronize pharmacists who continue to dish out travuda, ensure that when you do visit the pharmacist, demand for these meds combo. Its the best combination therapy and failure is rare Tenofovir disoproxil, 300 mg/emtricitabine, 200 mg (Truvada) once daily (This comes as a single tablet) plus Raltegravir (Isentress), 400 mg twice daily or dolutegravir (Tivicay), 50 mg once daily. Dolutegravir is new and highly effective but relatively scarce. In its absence go for Isentress These must be taken for 28days You must follow these guidelines before demanding for PEP (1) The risk must be significant enough to be PEP indicated or warranted (2) You must see a health care professional and not self medicate (3) If PEP is warranted, you must do a HIV baseline test to confirm you are HIV negative at the time of embarking on PEP (4) The exposure must have occured less than 72hrs ago If PEP is warranted and you do start it, adherence is key to ensuring its success. Do not skip any dosage. Studies have shown that the new combo as stated above are highly effective for almost all significant risks. Travuda alone cannot stop virons progressions and has been shown to at best preserve your immune systems when you do seroconvert but won't stop the seroconvertion itself Thank you for reading 2 Likes |

deavicky: Sorry it doesn't work that way. When one comes into contact with HIV, or contracts HIV for that matter, he or she is actually highly infectious to others from that point on. The problem is that while he is infectious, he won't be able to immediately know that he has contracted HIV because most of the tests we have detect our body's natural defense system reactions to those invading HIV antigens. When our defense systems notice the HIV invading the body they mobilize to attack them and produce in that process what we have antibodies. It is those antibodies that the tests look for to confirm if you have HIV or not Significantly it takes an average of 2 weeks to 3 months for most people to produce enough antibodies for the tests to detect them even though they have the HIV all those while and are actually highly infectious even before the tests can detect they have HIV This gap period, called the window period, is very concerning for scientist as it represents the single major hurdle and barrier for effective HIV management where most people tests negative when they are infact HIV positive There are more complex tests which looks for the HIV directly but they are too expensive to be commercially viable. So for now when you contract HIV you have to wait out this window period before you are sure you did not contract it 3 Likes |

belzieee: There is no risk here at all. Even if she does have sores and you also have sores, the risk remains very low Like he said, risk is strongly dependent on the volume of inoculation. This is why we say that it is safer to have unprotected sex with someone on HIV medication than with someone that is claiming to be HIV negative The one on HIV meds would likely be undetectable and since we now know that undetectable is equal to untransmittable, due to the low volume of inoculation, your positive HIV sex partner would be unable to pass on the virus to you even without protection but those claiming to be HIV negative may actually be positive in a window period and infect you 3 Likes 1 Share |

[color=#000099][/color] There's what we call Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP). It's a treatment given to suspected cases of exposure to HIV within 72 hours(as in your case). I think you should take this medication immediately from a nearby hospital since you are not sure of the other's HIV status. Meanwhile, don't expect us to convince your immune safety bro. |

You have started taking PEP na. Just complete the dose for 30 days and then go for test. |
