what is ilvitrim suspension
Hi... I'm HIV positive and my son is three months old and I haven't been taking my medication for a week now but I give my son the ilvitrim suspension every day. Is he at the risk of being infected? I'm so worried. ## Hello, Kaylor! How are you and your son? Did they test him at birth to see if he was infected? Ilvitrim is an antibiotic, so I'm not sure why he's on it. What is he being treated for? Why aren't you taking your medication? ## Hi am an hiv+ mother and my baby is 3 months old she was tested negative at birth and and at 10 weeks she's was tested again and still negative,they have stopped giving her nevarapine bt am still breastfeeding ,I only got ilvitrim suspension.

HIV Patient needing a doctor
I'm an HIV patient in my final stages of my disease and have been without a primary care physician since the Covid pandemic began. I'm very concerned to even go outside because of panic of getting infected with Covid now that my immune system is highly compromised. I have Medicare insurance. MetroPlus. I know the names of the medications I was talking. But I need a doctor's prescription who can help me before my health gets worse. ## Miguel, sorry to hear about your challenges. Please share where you are located and list the medications that you were taking.

what exactly is ilvitrim suspension for
My son is 18 weeks now...he got tested after birth and after six weeks when he was stopped from takin nevirapine and the pcr results were negative..now my worry is this ilvitrim suspension i was told to give him everyday, why is it so? I'm terribly stressed and concerned. ## Hello, Plentian! How are you? The FDA classifies Ilvitrim as an antibiotic, it is often given as a precautionary measure in such cases, to prevent infections. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## What's the accurate and right dosage for Ilivitrim for my 8 weeks and 5 days baby? I am breastfeeding only and still taking my arvs twice daily. My daughter was tested at birth and she is negative, w...

Tenemine for HIV prevention
I started taking 'prep' a few months ago. At first it was the prep we were introduced to. Then later I was given another kind of pill which was different from the first. I was told it was the same medication but had a change of container. It's now called Tenemine... M117 blue oval pill. It contains: Tenofovir + disoproxil + fumarate + emtricitabile. I'm really worried. Is my doctor still giving me the right medication? I'm HIV negative. ## Hi. Hope someone can help. My partner is HIV + and is on Atroiza. I am HIV - and was given Tenemine to take to prevent HIV by up to 90% if used correctly with condoms as well. I see the side effects are almost the same as ARV's and so are the ingredients. Is it the same type of tablet and why market it differently (here in Sout...

Hi after six weeks checkup my daughter tested negative, before she was using Nevirapine. Now they gave her the ilvitrim suspension. I just wanna know that they are working the same because I'm still breastfeeding her. ## Hi. How safe is Ilvitrim for my baby girl who's 6 weeks old? She was HIV negative at the Hospital and they gave her a Neverapin. After six weeks I'm supposed to take her to the Clinic, then they'll change her to Ilvitrim. I just want to know if it's ok for her? They say i must continue to give her medication as long as I'm still breastfeeding her. ## I am HIV positive and my baby is almost 5 weeks old & on nevirapine. He just started having a skin (facial) rash, so I wanna know if it means he's also HIV positive or what? I am worried and ...
