health STD & AIDS

My friend from a pharmaceutical company told me its Zithromax from Astra. 1 hour after meal, Once a day for 2 days. Ano kaya epekto nito? :goatee: [/color]

 

Zithromax or Azithromycin is very effective for infections caused by Chlamydia and it's usually given 1 g single dose. I'd still go for Cephalosporins and Quinolones for Gonococcal infections though.

so by having sex with at least 5 commercial sex workers, it's safe to assume that you already have hpv?

 

not necessarily but it sure do increases your risk of having one.

Hi Nadia, I think I know you personaly from the early days of MtC? Remember me?

kUNG GUSTO MO MAS TOXIC NA REGIMEN YOU CAN GO FOR CEFTRIAXONE 125MG/IM (INTRAMUSCULAR) PARA SA GONORRHEA THEN DOXYCYCLINE 100MG/TAB 2X A DAY X 7DAYS TO COVER FOR CHLAMYDIA. DI MO KASI MASABI IF YOU HAVE ONE OR BOTH SYMPTOMWISE. ZITHROMAX IS A GOOD ALTERNATIVE FOR CHLAMYDIA.

nabibili po ba ang mga ito "over the counter?"

They're supposed to ask for the prescriptions pero a lot of drug stores are not that strict though.

madaming silent carriers ng hpv?

 

I think so. The virus usually lives in the skin or mucous membranes so a lot of people who have genital HPV infection are usually asymptomatic - wala silang nararamdaman.

im on vacation now. will pm you when i get back.

 

also, let me correct myself. for the hepatitis B test, one needs Hepa B surface antigen (HBsAg).

 

 

Hi to the Docs in the forum!

 

Where would be a good place to go in the QC area to get tested for STIs? (I live near UP Diliman.) Kung wala near the area....

Are any of the docs here able to give consultation? Pwede pa schedule, and test na rin?

 

Thanks!

3 out of 5 would have HPV. That is even a conservative estimate.

[nadia_md]

That's right. HPV is mostly asymptomatic and even if warts are present, if they are minute, they may go unnoticed especially in mean due to the irregularity of the skin in that area. Identifying them might require a trained eye.

yup, standard treatment for std cases...(imho) you should have a loading dose of doxy 200mg on the first day.

does HPV clear away on its own?

There are treatments for genital warts, though they often disappear even without treatment. There is no way to predict whether the warts will grow or disappear. Therefore, if you suspect you have genital warts, you should be examined and treated, if necessary.

 

Depending on factors such as the size and location of your genital warts, your health care provider will offer you one of several ways to treat them.

 

* Imiquimod cream

* 20 percent podophyllin antimitotic solution

* 0.5 percent podofilox solution

* 5 percent 5-fluorouracil cream

* Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)

 

If you are pregnant, you should not use podophyllin or podofilox because they are absorbed by your skin and may cause birth defects in your baby. In addition, you should not use 5-fluorouracil cream if you are pregnant.

 

If you have small warts, your health care provider can remove them by one of three methods.

 

* Freezing (cryosurgery)

* Burning (electrocautery)

* Laser treatment

 

If you have large warts that have not responded to other treatment, you may have to have surgery to remove them.

 

Some health care providers inject the antiviral drug alpha interferon directly into warts that have returned after removal by traditional means. The drug is expensive, however, and does not reduce the rate that the genital warts return.

 

Although treatments can get rid of the warts, none get rid of the virus. Because the virus is still present in your body, warts often come back after treatment.

Tanong ko lang, How true or is true na kapag may singaw eh hangga't maaari don't go down to a girl. Dahil kapag may sakit siya eh pwede kang mahawa? Yung sa kiss kasi, theoritically medyo parang totoo na kapag naghalikan kayo at may gingivitis or mouth bleeding kayo pareho eh posible na magkahawaan kayo.
