How Does Ilvitrim Help Me When Hiv Positive (Top voted first)

Updated

I tested HIV+ last year in December and since then i have been taking the Ilvitrim tablets but i am always having an itchy rash on my vagina. Is it due to the ilvirtrim or what, as i also suffer from lower abdominal pains? i did a consultation and did some scans and they told me there is nothing wrong. How dangerous is low blood pressure as i am anemic when HIV+? I also take multivitamins, B-tabs, iron and the folic acid along with the ilvitrim.

I've tasted HIV+ last year March when I was very ill. I was prescribed arvs there and there since my cd4 count was too low (48) I also had TB and was prescribed ilvitrim but because I had to take too any tablets at once and ilvitrim gave me a hard time even more i. Had this uncontrolled nausea thenn I decided to stop taking it without telling my Dr but I was ok after wards and my cd4 has gone up too 200 without taking ilvitrim,should I try it or should I just live it like that I'm scared of it though it was really giving a hard time

I have been tested HIV negative throughout my pregnancy, and they never tested us with de baby. Last time I was tested it was on the 24th of august 2017 and I gave birth on the 26th; maybe that's why we never got tested. Last week I went to the clinic, and they tested me and I tested+. And they tested my baby as well and am still waiting for his results. My concern is that they gave me the ilivitrim suspension for him to take and they gave me ARV's. I took them for 1 day only then I stopped, as I am breastfeeding. Will my baby get infected if he only takes ilvitrim while I avoid the ARV's? He is 4 monthths old now. Please help me.

Bernice the common side effects can include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

As to long-term use, from what I can find that actually hasn't been studied, because in most cases antibiotics are meant to be used for a short period of time, such as 10 to 14 days.

Givovo, she should consult her doctor about what to do.

The symptoms she is experiencing can be normal side effects of this medication, but if they are severe, she may need to try something else, but only a doctor familiar with her medical condition will be able to advise her of the appropriate course of action.
