Hi so I have been taking prep for about 18 days now I started taking it July 28 I missed 2 days August 2-3 but was consistent after that. I messed up and had sex August 16 after I took my pill.
I know it says 21 is full coverage but I want to make sure am I okay? It was vaginal and I’m just worried
when should i start prep after pep? currently on pep right now (started around 62 hour mark) and i’m seeing different things online about when i can start prep. at mistr, they’re saying two weeks but i’ve seen many people say to start right after. i’m on 200 mg discovy and 50 mg tivicay for pep if that helps.
As the title says, when should I take the first 2 doses? I know u should take it 2-24 hours before having fun, but ive heard stories that u get nauseous after taking it. Thats why, Im here asking what is the most recommended time to take it, with the least nauseous feeling?
Hi everyone! I had a quick question. I was reading recently that the CDC now recommends RNA testing in addition to a fourth-generation test at quarterly PrEP appointments. While I was looking some things up, I stumbled upon some information suggesting that, if you have a breakthrough infection while taking PrEP, it can also extend the window period for an RNA test. I didn’t think the RNA test was affected by PrEP at all, unless that is new information. Does anyone have more information to share?
Are there any risks to starting the tablets a day late (my pharmacy did not have them the day i got my injection). Has anybody else experience this? Thanks.
I am Looking to get on prep , I always have bad side effects from all medications.
What prep has the least side effects in your experience?
What website is the easiest to use?
only 1 pill of tenofovir disoproxil 200mg, I did after eating, and i didnt take anything else at all.
However it has been 5 days, i still have some nausea and its intensity goes up and down. Is this normal? what should i do? I am not throwing up, but i am eating very little every day. And it is very annoying.
I went to a hospital this morning, I wanted to do wellness check and have consultation about injectable PrEP options. When she came to the room, she directly asked me if I wanted to do full panel of STD test, then I was shocked. I told her that my primary reason was to do wellness check, then afterwards we can talk about injectable PrEP options. I know she was very busy, she said she actually was not accepting new patients anyways and told me that for PrEP I should eventually got tested. I understand, but I came there not to have a “visit”, I do not want to get charged since my understanding is that preventative care is covered by my insurance.
So she finally said that she has no expertise in PrEP so she would set me up with a physician, which the nearest available time is in October.
I live in a small city in America. Now I am wondering if I should wait until the next appointment, or I should find another physician in neighboring town, or do pill PrEP until I meet a nurse/doctor that can help me with injectable PrEP?
I appreciate if you guys have some suggestions.
Whats your take on this? Sustainable ba?
Dr. said there would be minor side effects but been on prep 5 days and feel like I have the flu, a migraine and strep throat. Dr. said itll only take 3 to 4 weeks to clear system. Does this actually take that long to clear dont have that amt of sick time.
I am amazed that so few research has been done on Htlv. Knowing how dramatic the effects of this decease can be. Also we recently know that some antiretroviral treatment used for HIV may be efficient against Htlv transmission like dolutegravir bictegravir and cabotegravir and maybe tenofovir. But here has been no human studies to know if Prep and ART used for HIV are actually efficient to prevent HTLV infection.
So here is my question here : Does anyone who is on Prep or ART got infected by HTLV after the medication initiation ?
I’ve been getting descovy through MISTR for a little over three months now and I had to do my labs a couple weeks ago. It should’ve been plenty of time for the labs to go through and the refills to get approved before I ran out but unfortunately it was not and I was off it for like five days before I got my refill.
I’ve been back on it since Tuesday, but last night I ended up topping someone at a GH and immediately got paranoid I may have been exposed. I know it was dumb to do that before the seven days, but it’s already done.
I tried to get PEP at the clinic today but insurance wouldn’t cover it and it was gonna be like $2000.
My plan now is wait 30 days to get tested so it will have time to show up on a blood draw and hope that 4 days was enough.
Has anyone been in a similar situation or does anyone know what my chances of catching HIV are in this scenario?
TL’DR: I missed 5 doses due to pharmacy delay, been back on it for 4 at time of potential exposure and I was topping. Anybody know what my chances of catching HIV are?
I recently met up with a dude and watched him have sex with another and masturbated to it. After I came that guy put his mouth on my penis for about 5 seconds. Am I at risk of HIV? I don’t remember seeing blood but I’m terrified that I missed it. I feel so stupid and irresponsible. Am I at risk?
Just got my second Yeztugo injection in my abdomen. My first injections are still very noticeable when you touch them. They are not painful or visible.
Has anyone had the nodules completely disappear, dissolve, go away?
I’m going to reevaluate at the 1 year mark and may switch back to pills. I don’t mind the bumps if they eventually go away but can’t have 2 added every six months and each stay for years lol.
Took my first pill last night with food. All night was fine. This morning a lot of nausea and vomiting. How do people deal with this. Took it on a weekend to make sure I wasn’t dealing with it on a work week. But hard to deal with it now. Advice?
I’m looking for an online service where I can get both PrEP and DoxyPEP without having to do a video appointment. I know Nurx offers this, but I’d like to try a different service. Ideally, I’m looking for something where everything can be done through chat/messages and I can get the prescriptions online.
Does anyone know of any other websites or services that work like this?
