Hello, I've been seeing boils/blister on and around my genitals, my scrotum and close to the rectum. I've done different laboratory tests including herpes to know what exactly is wrong but to no avail. This thing has been doing me for 5 years now, please i need help on what medicine in tablet or cream to use to permanently cure this disease because it's really frustrating. Thanks and i hope to hear from you soon. ## Hello, Barton! How are you? Sorry about the problem you're having. Have you seen a dermatologist?

Can I take ilvitrim if I slept with a hiv positive person so as I can not be infected ## Ilvitrim contains the active ingredients Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim. It is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of infections. Although the therapeutic regimen of patients with HIV infection, frequently includes trimethoprim + sulfamethoxazole", it is my understanding that the risk of serious side effects vs the potential benefits of the drug, can make it a difficult option for short and/or long term use. Furthermore, I do wonder what benefits, if any, they might be receiving from an antibiotic, since antibiotics in and of themselves cannot be used to prevent or cure viral infections such as HIV.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I've seen alot of confusion with this pill, but it is in fact vicodin (hydrocodone) ## Hello, Steven! How are you? The V on the tablet is just a manufacturers logo, it does not denote what the tablet is or what it contains. And no, this is not Vicodin, nor any other type of narcotic. A white, elliptical tablet with 58 98 on one side and a V on the other contains Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim, a generic for Bactrim, which is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections.

I been having hives on and off for the past two months. I just don't know the cause of it. I had taken all types of allergy pills and nothing helps. The only ones that had worked for me are the prednisone, but my doctor can't prescribed me that as a medication. He had only given me two refills of 5 pills and I only save them for when I get the hives really bad, like when I get them on my eyes and lips or on my hands, that makes me go crazy. They hurt so bad and itch when they keep getting bigger. What else can I take that will help the swollen and itchy redness go away? ## Hello, Nylah! How are you? That does sound like you could be experiencing an allergic reaction to something, and yes, it is possible that it could be the Hydrocodone, according to the FDA. Rather than trying t...
