tpapi: I understand the op's psyche all too well. Unless you have been placed in the same position, you may not get it. Yes, the books tell us that the risk of getting it in the manner the op explained is minuscule but what if? What if the virus the girl has is a mutant variant that can survive for a week? What if the flatmate is the one who used the razor and not the girl like he claimed? Why put the razor in the first place in someone else's bag? What is the flatmate's true intent? Working on the above logic, how sure are we the flatmate who at this point may have the virus is not using the op's toothbrush and other personal items? Just what if? This isn't something you leave to chance. Good enough there are drugs that can be taken for a month so why not do that and improve the chances of reducing the what ifs? Personally, I am of the opinion that the op should leave that place ASAP. It is a hot bed for all manner of blood transmitted diseases. |

There’s 90% chance you not infected because if it happens she used the razor blade like hours before you made contact with it, the blood cells on it must have died sir . Live your life sir for you are free. |

The virus as I've learnt can't survive outside the host body for too long. One of the mysteries of the disease. However, you might have to take a test later on, but not so soon due to the fact that even if you've contracted anything, it will still take a while for tests to show that. There's the incubation period for this thing. My advise is, take a deep breathe and cool down. I definitely don't think you've contacted anything yet. By the way, my heartfelt condolences to that your friend who slept with the lady, apparently without any "safety". God is his strong tower right now. If it turns out he didnt contact the disease after testing, kindly tell him to devote the remaining part of his years to the seminary. God loves him so much. Meanwhile... Are you a teacher?

This OP story , I totally disagree. No registered pharmacist will sell PEP for you on the basis of having Razor cut. It's 100% certain that the OP had unprotected sex with lady in question, or OP is really his acclaimed friend 2 Likes |

babzo: How often does one take the pills and how many pills per intake. By how often, I mean, is it daily, weekly, or twice weekly. |
Re: Help! Am I HIV Positive? by phakinolol(m): 6:59am On Sep 20, 2019 |
My brother my Advice is for you to continue the PEP, it just for a month therapy,and the effect will be reduced as you continue the drugs, Just make sure u eat more fruits, and drink lots of water Take care |

Starke: HIV virus doesn't last more than a day outside the human body, so the razor was pro'ly clean of the virus even if it had cut her. And stop taking those drugs, you'll only harm yourself. Brace up and go for the test, but I'm sure you're fine. |

Starke:Prep side effects are very terrible. Btw you cant contact hiv via sharp object easily. Hiv doesnt live outside the human body for long, especially if its exposed to air. It dies off in hours. So relax you good to go, and try to take your mind of it else you would be experiencing other false symptoms. Be careful next time tho. Good Morning 1 Like |

lessonsoflife: Its usually 1 to 3 per day. BUT best to follow the direction of YOUR DOCTOR. Otherwise get a better doctor. NEVER self medicate. Charlie Sheen the famous American actor,had to travel outside America to a doctor in Mexico; now he tests negative to HIV. BUT he continues his medication. |
Re: Help! Am I HIV Positive? by deri4luv1(m): 7:09am On Sep 20, 2019 |
Continue the drugs sir, take it late at night just before you go to bed, Yes the side effects of the drug is terrible |
Re: Help! Am I HIV Positive? by Silenca: 7:10am On Sep 20, 2019 |
Bro, you have nothing to worry about. Just go and do HIV test to be sure since you don't know if the girl actually used it on herself or not and stop pumping drugs into your system in the name of stopping it besides you see its affecting you. Besides all this, I would want you to know that I could help you with something that can get rid of the HIV and kidney issue just in case you are interested. WhatsApp me on 07063216528 I wish you good health. |

Starke: You shouldn't have quit the drugs on your own. You should have at least reported back to the hospital for advice and probably a change of drug class.. ..How long ago did you stop the drug?. ..depending on your answer,if not up to a week.. .I'll advice you just continue on it or report to the hospital.. .and pray.. ..until you are through with the drug and rerun another test, you may not know if you have come down with HIV. |
Re: Help! Am I HIV Positive? by snowblaq(f): 7:19am On Sep 20, 2019 |
realstars: You don't need to be positive before taking PEP.. ..PEP is actually given to prevent you from being positive if you fear you may have come in contact with someone or something that may contaminate you with the virus.. . |

Re: Help! Am I HIV Positive? by Nackzy: 7:21am On Sep 20, 2019 |
Starke:If truely you were cut by the Razor Blade, You Can't contact HIV, so you don't need to get scared, but from how you're sounding in this story you've been bleeping the girl without condom for some time, which means you might have contacted the Virus.. I wish you were able to say the truth so we know were to start from and help you, even a lawyer that stands for a criminal will ask the criminal for the truth first, so he will know were and how to start his defense 1 Like |

The virus doesn't survive for long without a host. So the chances of you contacting the virus is almost next to none. |

babzo: The newer pills can be a single tab per day usually a three pill combo of travuda and efavirenz. Travuda is a two combo med containing Tenofovir and Emtricitabine in doses of 300mg and 200mg respectively. This is the usual single dose for PEP in Africa but efavirenz itself is no longer a recommended third tab combination due to its adverse side effects and a lot of resistance has been observed for it by most HIV virons in Africa The most effective PEP combination currently in use is Travuda... Tenofovir and Emtricitabine in doses of 300mg and 200mg respectively and Delotogravir 50mg That said the OP's story is PEP indicated. Bear in mind that not all sexual exposures are PEP indicated and a doctor would consider various factors before deciding that PEP may or may not be warranted. Infectious HIV has been isolated from hard objects 2 weeks outside the host. Various studies have indicated this to be the most HIV could survive outside its host. The gash to his finger wasn't clearly defined as the volume of inoculation is important in deciding the possibility of HIV transmission In my opinion there is still a significant risk of infection since the source is a known HIV positive individual and PEP should be continued for the maximum 28 days period. It is good that PEP was initiated timely, which must be within 24 and at worst by 72hrs. Continuation of the medication is critical and the OP must restart it as soon as possible Renal impairment has been observed for those using PEP but the impact is rarely significant and full return to normal renal levels almost always occurs once medication ends. The newer combo involving Travuda and Delotogravir has consistently achieved zero renal impact which is why they are the current best practice and most effective PEP in use Good luck |
