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.

I have a 4 week old baby on nevirapine at the clinic. They also gave me ilvitrim, so I just want to know if that is the same thing or must I get nevirapine as well? ## Hello, Lu! How are you and your baby? Is your baby HIV positive or negative? If they are negative, then normally just the Ilvitrim is given, the Nevirapine is an antiviral that's used to treat an HIV infection. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. ## Can I give my baby the ilvitrim suspension at anytime or must he drink it at the same time everyday? The doctor didn't explain this to me. Also, are ilvitrim tablets the same as nevirapine? ## hi i am hiv positive mom and on exclusive breestfeeding and my child was tested negativ...

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...

Hi I am hiv positive and on tribuss medication, I now have a 9 weeks son who was born negative and was given nevirapine at birth till he was 6weeks then given Iltrim.I was breastfeeding exclusively till he was 2weeks then gave him breastfeed, formula and cereal because he was not getting full on breast milk only does this mean that my son is now hiv positive even though I take my treatment religiously and gave him his ? ## Hello, Nikkie! How are you? No, mixed feeding would not affect that. You both just need to continue to take the prescribed medications, until he is done breastfeeding, as reported by the NIH. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you so so much for your honesty, I also have the same problem. I was even afraid of giving my daughter a flu medicine because we ...
