Yes. They are same.
However, better medicines are now available.
To better understand the newer art, please take private consult with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and explain you what is to be done.

Occasionally yes, you can with low dose as there is a chance of reaction between efavirenz of forstavir 3, so take viagra in afternoon and forstavir 3 in the empty stomach at night.

No. That is one of the treatment. Combination of three drugs. But that is old one and number if new and better drugs are now available. Please take private consultation with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and tell you what is the best way forward. Ideally personal consultation is better and you are not far from mumbai.

Hello sir.
As a general advice, time and again, I say please don't self treat yourself. It is not worth your life in avoiding private consultation, online or in person, with any qualified hiv Dr. Please be aware with drs it's all confidential information. No wonder you feel discomfort after taking the meds which is also not as per latest guidelines. Most likely you have side effects from efv.

Did you screen yourself for tb, other infections before starting art. Art can sometimes cause problems, if other infections are not detected or treated. To better understand all these things, please take private consult with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and explain you what is to be done.

It's not a good medicine for pep. It can be changed. But first we need to establish if you really need pep. Please take private consultation with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and tell you what is the best way forward. Don't play with life like this. One can also get suicidal ideations on viraday.

Hello.
PEP is best taken within 24 hrs of an suspected exposure but upto 72 hrs of exposure is also recommended.
The PEP should be taken for 4 weeks without break if no serious side effects.
