My doctor recently changed the ARV I was suing to Reydin. Is it safe to use Reydin while pregnant?
Answer
Hi Mavis, how are you doing? Congratulations on the pregnancy.
Reydin is a first line ARV for pregnant woman. It is recommended by UK and WHO guidelines. It is safe to use in pregnancy.
Reydin is a combination of 3 medications. It does contain Dolutegravir which is associated with a small increased risk of neural tube defects. A small risk.
In the UK it is recommended that women take a folic acid supplement for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy to reduce this risk. Speaking to the doctor who prescribed the medication cam help explain why your ARV was changed.
If you want to know anything else please ask,
Josh.
Hi Amanda – we are not doctors at i-Base. HIV meds need to be prescribed by a doctor. If you need to use them for prevention, the doctor needs to know you are pregnant. They are safely used by HIV positive women during pregnancy.
Hi Doctor is it possible to use these tablets while u pregnant and you are not HIV Positive

Hi David
HIV is not transmitted to a man getting a BJ.

Hi Josh I have read the article you have send I can see I’m safe but maybe she is positive not on treatment still no risk? for my question I’m referring to blowjob.
I’m panicking a bit as you said salava have strong enzyme even if a person have the virus she will not infect someone?
Sorry for asking many questions can I do HIV testing after blowjob but no penetration?
Hi David, a man cannot catch HIV from receiving oral sex.

Hi Josh she did blowjob but no cut or any thing on my penis and I I did not injeculate in he mouth and no penetration I’m I safe?
Thanks josh I’m out of hell keep a good work for assisting people when they need some answers God bless
Hi David, I am well thanks. I hope you are doing well. 13 weeks post PEP is accurate of your status. Testing negative now means you are HIV negative regardless of the test you use. Yes you can drink alcohol.
