Is there a high success rate of blocking when you take HIV blocking pills after high-risk behavior?
The sooner you take an emergency HIV blocker, the sooner the drug's blood levels can rise to ensure that it works before the virus enters the bloodstream.
Currently, the timing of effective blockade is best within 2 hours and no later than 72 hours after high-risk behavior.
Thanks for the invitation. HIV blockade therapy mainly includes pre-exposure blockade (PrEP), post-exposure blockade (PEP) and pregnancy blockadeThree, and if high-risk sex has occurred, what is needed is a post-exposure blockade, which is used to prevent the spread of HIV.
After the occurrence of high-risk behavior, the sooner you take the blocking drug, the sooner the blood concentration of the drug can rise to ensure that the virus into the bloodstream before the onset of the effect of the AIDS blocking drug should be the most effective blocking time for the high-risk behavior within 2 hours, the success rate of 99%, within 48 hours, its blocking success rate is still high, and then the success rate will slowly decline, the success rate of the AIDS blocking drug is the best, the success rate of the AIDS blocking drug is the best, the success rate of the AIDS blocking drug is the best, the success rate of the AIDS blocking drug is the best.stillThe medication is still effective if taken within 72 hours, and basically does nothing if taken after 72 hours.
HIV blocking drugs are not one particular drug, but a combination of different antiviral drugs, and a triple drug regimen is commonly used today. Common combinations are:
(i) Crizal or Essentra + Tenofovir + Lamivudine;
(ii) Cleveland or Essentra + Tenofovir + Emtricitabine.
Although the success rate of blocking medication is very high, there are still many people who are reluctant to take the blocking medication or give up halfway after a few days of taking the medication because these medications have strong side effects and are expensive, the medication, plus the cost of the test, will cost you about 4,000 RMB. When taking this type of medication, even if the side effects are strong, you have to follow the doctor's instructions to take the medication on time and insist on taking it for 28 days, once you interrupt it, you will not be able to achieve the effect of blocking.
Another reason is that the procurement and distribution of HIV blocking drugs is strictly controlled by the state. Currently, our country prioritizes the supply of HIV-infected pregnant women and occupationally exposed people, and for groups with occupational exposure risks such as healthcare workers and police officers who have a high risk of exposure on the job, they are entitled to free drugs. If the general public needs to buy it, it is more troublesome, requiring a prescription from a doctor, and it is often not available. At this point you can contact some non-governmental partner organizations or your local CDC, who can refer you to a designated hospital to get the medication. At months 1, 3, and 6 after taking the blocking medication, you should also have blood drawn at your local hospital or CDC to test for HIV antibodies and to see if the block is successful.
According to relevant studies, the effectiveness of the AIDS blocking pill is very significant, with only a 5/1000 chance of failure, which is why it has a better name - the "emergency contraceptive pill" for preventing AIDS.
HIV blocking drugs are not a single drug, but a combination of several drugs. The current common program in China is triple drug blockade.
So how do you take this medicine for the best results?
It can be taken up to 72 hours after infection, but is best taken within 2 hours of exposure for best results, and needs to be taken 1-2 times a day for 28 consecutive days.
One thing to note: you must stick to your medication and not give up in the middle of the day, or you will lose the battle.
