Tenofovir+Combivir PEP treatment Jan 16, 2008 Hi, I got exposed to HIV and I begin PEP treatment 17 hours after exposure with Tenofovir (1 daily) and Combivir (2 daily). On the 3ed day I experienced nausea and vomiting, today is my 5th day taking them and I have digestive issues. I have to eat little by little or I will get nausea, after eating I start burping for at least 2 hours. Burping helps me feel better. Is this normal during the first week or should I contact my doctor and switch? |

 GI symptoms such as you describe are fairly common when using your particular HIV drugs so switching is not generally recommended. The symptoms often will diminish over the first 2-4 weeks. Taking with food and some anti-nausea meds can often help alleviate the symptoms. KH | ||||||||
