Ladies, please y'all should be careful.

iamrealdeji:
how were you almost a victim bro?

JohnieWalker:
It is a PEP drug for hiv prevention. Illiterates everywhere. Your bf is even literate to take it. This drug is prescribed for exposure to hiv risk such as unprotected sex. It is to be taken for 30 days and must be started within 72 hours of exposure to HIV risk...Doctor and medical practitioners, rape victims take it. Note it is free due to support from Charity organisations but can cost from $600- $2k if it were to be sold..

yeyerolling:
anti retroviral drug.

I like this answer. PEP is something our sexually active people should understand as an option mostly because research has shown 87% effectiveness at preventing or aborting a new infection if started within 72hrs and taken without breaks for 28days. Infact some research shows close to 100% effectiveness

Just imagine how many cases of new infections this can prevent in Nigeria! The fight to end the HIV scourge should include PreP and PEP. They are both useful and effective tools in this battle

Back to the topic, it would appear that the owner of this medication is HIV positive. However various research has shown that a HIV patient who is taking medication and has achieved non detectable status (most people on medication achieve this within 4 months of starting medication) has virtually no chance of transmitting the virus

Think this through. If this person has been on this medication and has achieved non detectable status, which is extremely likely, the girlfriend is at less risk of infection than you, yes I mean you, sleeping with someone who doesn't even know his/her HIV status and hence not on medication.

Infact he has less than 0.001% chance of transmitting the virus at a non detectable stage

Hope this has been helpful

JohnieWalker:

This same drug or truvada

You too much, thanks for your clarifications. Enlightenment is good

Ferdinandu:
My Girlfriend of almost a year was positive. She was positive before I met her. I've already left her before I got to knew that she was positive all the while taking the drugs but I never knew. It took me almost a year and half of constant HIV tests to free my mind of fear of been infected.

TheTrueApostle:

did u bother to read that at all.
That drug has 3 component drugs.

Lamivudine is the drug used for hepatitis, not the drug with those 3 components (effavirenz, tenofovir, Lamivudine) ; I guess u have used the internet like u prescribed and didn't understand what u browsed.

Neddyogu:
Tenofovir is also used for treatment of Hepatitis B. It may also be used for HIV. Bottom line is that d drug is an antiviral medication but we can't say for sure if the owner is HIV positive or not.

ArinzeUgo:

Bros. I'm a pharmacist experienced in HIV management and care don't ask such questions.. That post you put up there will mislead people. Imagine someone reading your post and thinking everyone he sees that drug with is using it for PEP. I see you've edited your original post to reflect a price change on the cost of the ARV. You need to do better. Knowledge is power.

nezzar:

Wow, thanks. Anyway, my main take away from all this is that it's a reminder that hiv is real

pussyeater:

A lower dose can also be used to prevent heart attack
