HIV PEP/PErP Question - Emergency!!!
דיון מתוך פורום מחלות זיהומיות
Hello there to the Medical staff, Sorry for writing in English but i find it easier then typing in Hebrew, I do however fully understand Hebrew so you could simply reply in Hebrew. My question is the following: Last night I was exposed to an HIV risk infection - test positive , I myself sure negative as I tested myself about a week ago - how ironic - any way I rushed to the hospital and the doctor ther gave me a PEP drug. I looked up about PEP and saw many advise on a Combo Drug of as a combo drug like Combivir. what the Doctor gave me is very similar but slightly different. what I was given is Zidovudine 250Mg & Lamivudine 150Mg & Nevirapine 200Mg as a Tri combo pill. please note the the drug was not given to me in Israel as I am on the way to ISR and didn't want to waist time on starting the treatment. the Only Difference between Combivir and the Drug I was subscribed is that the Zidovudine is 250mg rather then 300Mg as Combivir has and my drug has a third Drug in it My question is was the Drug Subscribed to me for the PEP treatment is fine or I should switch immediately to the Zidovudine 300Mg & Lamivudine 150Mg I am a fairly small body weight of about 65-70Kg and in my 30's in age.
שלום AKL, הטיפול המונע (PEP) ה'משולש' שניתן לך הוא סביר ומקובל ואין סיבה לשנות אותו. הרבה בריאות אפי
Do you know by any chance what is the rate of success assuming I contracted the Virus? Note: I started the PEP treatment about 12 Hours after Expusre
