Do you get joint pain after 5 months from HIV?

    Hi Alfonso,

    I am sorry but this service doesn’t answer indivudal questions about testing and transmission. This is because the answers are already online at the FAQ page:
    http://i-base.info/qa/factsheets/hiv-transmission-and-testing

    However, a normal CD8 range is from 150 to 1000. This test is not used as much but the results come together. It is more important to know your CD4 count than your CD8 count. Please see more info about CD4 counts and CD4:CD8 ratio here.

    Please talk to your doctor about your headaches, joint pains and other symptoms.

    Hi Alexis,

    Unfortunately we don’t have the resources to answer more questions about transmission and testing. This information service is about HIV treatment for people who are HIV positive.

    Hello Dear,
    If the HIV test takes place after 10 years and is negative, is the test very safe and should be disturbed. Although there are many symptoms associated with hiv.am virus allergies, fatigue. Muscle aches. Headaches. Are you going to test it? should any other analysis or only tests for HIV be made. Thank you very much and look forward to.Is it same test for hiv and Aids.

    Hi Sipho,

    There’s no need to be confused because Tribuss and Atroiza contain the same drugs. There are many different names for this pill. It’s just that, as they made by different companies, they have different names.

    Here in Europe the trade name is Atripla. You can see the many different names at this link.

    Hi VENKATA,

    When someone starts medication, their viral should become undetectable within 1-3 months of treatment. This should be monitored by your doctor. If you’re having side effects you should talk to your doctor about this.

    I did a hiv pcr viral load test and it returned back positive. my viral load is 1608 and cd4 count is 520 . i started treatment with dolutegravir+tenofovir disproxil fumerate+lamudivine. When can I expect my viral load to drop after starting treatment. I was diagonised in february 20 2019. I did not miss a single dose of treatment.)) Sometimes I get headache in the morning and it goes away. I also feel little bit drowsy in the morning after taking pill in the night.))
