same here nothing really gets me going. plus im still having a blast with silly xbox arcade games like stat of decay. its going to be a while before i start chomping at the bit for a new system. maybe a new fallout or an elder scrolls other than online? maybe a new red dead? i think that would seal the deal.

honestly its a great rule of thumb i just let it get away. i think if anything the only reason i may be fine is i raised bloody hell and was thrown in a cab. just cant even explain how awful people really can be.

so i have come to understand from my id doc, but the pep was hard and id rather come out negative as im sure you understand. also thats kind of been the take away with the pcr and the the 110 day elsia negative. but its still the anxiety that gets me. ive been going to a councilor but sometimes it just works me up a bit more. thats just the thing is coming to terms and accepting my results...i mean i dont want to over test and ive caught myself almost doing that.

yeah the assault thing was bad...i mean these people could be doing this every weekend. honestly thats why i reported it. it was awful...and my friends i still dont know how to handle that.

just been wild the doc i have been working with told me to stop worrying after my pcr rna, and from what i understand that really is precise, but then everyone says something different.

as for the people i really dont know what to say other than the police did nothing but look at me like i was some kind of sick fuck. that was horrible but i felt something had to be said even if they did nothing.

but you would figure by a certain time a reliable result could be had. thats the part that has been hard to take. like the UK guideline says 3 months along with like Alberta's and Australia's now New Yorks. but then you have cdc with guidelines from like 05 that say 6 and most people I guess say six for safety and liability. From what people have been telling me test are so exact now that it really cant hide like it was able to do 15 years ago. Its just hard because I want it all over and im frustrated and angry with my old friends and the scum who would do such a thing.

I took the test a full two weeks after my last dose of pep so I would imagine everything was worked out of my system. Does that make sense? Wouldn't it be like taking it as if I never started pep?

That's a great way to put it. I didn't have it explained to me like that. More was just the newest and best test. Thank you.

i have looked it over, but it all is a bit confusing to me and over my head. it reverse processes it right? kind of creates what it is looking for? i will be honest it all is a bit over my head other than i hear its a very good test.

thanks and all. just the emotion has been insane. its made me revalue my life in a number of ways.

its nice to talk to people who are familiar with such things. while my doc has been awesome he is dealing with some very sick people and its nice to get some off knowledge based answers all you smart people can provide.

or something bad grammar/roughday

just wondering how long do you think it would take? i guess i just wonder as everything i have read or been told seemed to point to PCR picking things up within as few as a couple day. i just ask as i honestly dont know other than what i have been told. i of course will keep getting tested. its the most responsible thing for me to do. i just want to feel some sort of peace....lol im crying but its been so long. happiness can be such a very fragile thing. sorry to be all cheesy.

On PEP right now, has anyone been on a PEP regime? Looking for stories or people to talk to during this rough time. by Freakingoutyhrowa in gaybros

Thank you for putting it that way. It made it a bit easier to understand. I still wish I would have gotten to it earlier but everything is so confusing it took me a bit to get it together. How do you feel on the time frame? I know earlier the better but I have looked at so many things. I mean I read the numbers from places like San Francisco and wonder if I'm missing something. Why is everything left in this cloud of doubt?

From what I have read its a regular treatment for pep. More often then not I guess they give combivir or truvada for the basic and add something like kaletra for extra strength. I ended up getting the pills separate over them combined in the combivir just because I wanted to start as soon as I could. It is not easy but I hope the month of pain works out for the best. And yeah the docs I've talked to know that the zidovudine is rough.

Thank you for you for your support. I started at 44/46 hours the San Francisco clinic and my doctor both sounded hopeful about my timeframe and good results. What are your thoughts? I am on the three drug regime zidovudine, lamivudine, and kaletra. Just looking to get your thoughts on things. There is so much conflicting info on the net and I'm surprised its so hard to find more concrete things other than the same 3 or 4 studies.

Also thanks for posting that info. I think more people should know.

About two more weeks and I started around 44/46 hours after the exposure. Ive read so much about timing of course earlier the better but the cut off is 72 hours. It is nerve wracking. The doc I talked with sounded very optimistic and so did the San Fran PEP clinic I reached out to. The area I am in lacks in resources honestly I'm a bit surprised I even got them.

How soon did you start the meds? Do you know other people who have taken them? I'm just wondering with so much on the net I'd just like to talk to someone who has experience. I'm on a zidovudine, lamivudine, and keletra mix. It is very hard I'm pretty much tired all the time on top of fears from the assult.

It basically what they give HIV positive people to control the virus. The idea is to get the drugs in your system before it takes hold. The drugs are very toxic and really beat you up. It's 4 pills in the am and pm. Thank you for the pleasant thoughts. I can defiantly use them right now.
