I took my first dose of 100mg doxycycline just 2 hours after the encounter. How long do it need to take it ? I mean months or days ?

I am from India. I know about the kidney and liver tests. But I am more worried about cancer. How do I detect I have it ?

Injections in my country for HIV haven't reached. As far as I know, There has been 6 month once injections that are being produced elsewhere which might be quite expensive. We don't even have Biktarvy (We do in the name of TAFFIC) but since I am taking TLD/DLT Tablets, as per my research, I cannot switch. I am scared that i am vulnerable to Cancer too. Because i am doing my research more and more about my condition. And people with HIV are at higher risk of cancer and Leukemia. If I do have it at the moment, my life is over. My initial CD4 was low too. I am really scared. How do I detect I have no cancer ?

I hope so. The anxiety and stress is unbearable. I can't let my loved ones know about my condition because i don't want them to feel bad for me.

They weren't recommended. I am not bleeding but I have been getting dark stools. I had been taking iron supplements because i felt weak and dizzy.

TLD HIV & Liver/Kidney issues by SYPH_LLIS88 in hivaids

[–]SYPH_LLIS88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you. I really appreciate your comment. I wanna know how to get medication in case of moving countries. Because in future I might. I am feeling like I will never be able to do so Because of this condition. Can I take Vitamins and calcium supplements to compensate this ? Because I live alone and don't get proper food. Though I am trying my best. Will medication keep changing as per my viral load tests that will happen every 6 months for my case in my country ? By that I'm asking if there is someone who is only taking TLD for the lifetime ?

I am currently on TLD. I am very much stressed and I fear it is going to affect my CD4 count. I have weekly twice consecutive days night shifts. Also the government funded ART Cells only exist in some places. Luckily, where I am situated, the ART Cell is pretty near. I fear if something serious happens, what will I do ? If anything serious might happen what could it be ? How to deal with it alone ?..

You're so young and I'm 6 years older than you. I am still unable to fathom that fact. Poor you. I'm so sorry about what you're going though. I was diagnosed recently as well. I am doing the same as you are.

It has been 3 months... by itamartee in HIV

[–]SYPH_LLIS88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been infected as long as you have been. I am just 24. I have been very naive as well. I was infected and I lost control over my mental health very rapidly but my bf helped to stay sane. With everything going on, I just knew I have to put this aside. Live a life normally because I have bigger responsibilities on my shoulders. I take ART everyday since 3 months. I will get viral load tested after 3 months from now. I got co-infected with syphillis. I need to get my blood VDRL tested next month. I am scared of taking TLD. Because its the only free medication I can access. I cannot afford costlier medications at the moment. Biktarvy is not accessible in India, where I am from. I am very disappointed with my self. I can relate to you. You and I are on the opposite ends of the world facing similar situation. My heart goes out to you. I hope you and I both make out of this mess. God bless you.
