Hi, how are you doing?<\/p>\n
Congratulations on having a baby.<\/p>\n
Co-trimoxazole is not used to treat\/prevent HIV. Co-trimoxazole is an antibotic used to prevent other infections that you may be at risk of.<\/p>\n
Do you know your CD4 count? If you have a CD4 count lower than 430 you have an increased risk of certain types of infection.<\/p>\n
Your baby taking co-trimoxazole can prevent these infections that could be passed on while you are breastfeeding.<\/p>\n
Have you mentioned this rash to a doctor? If the rash is being caused by this treatment it will need to be managed by the doctor that prescribed it.<\/p>\n

My viral load is undetectable and my baby tested negative after birth he was put on nevirapine for 6 weeks. He will test again after 10 weeks. I am using formula. He was then given Co-trimoxazole oral suspension. I would like to know the reason he was given that medication and he is now having a rash after taking it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-children"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21348"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21348\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21349,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21348\/revisions\/21349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
