Pregunte a los Expertos sobre Tratamientos del VIH/SIDA

 

impotencia
Apr 29, 2008

estoy tomando combivir desde hace una semana con el fin de hacer una profilaxis pos exposición. He notado una clara impotencia y ausencia de placer sexual casi absoluta. ¿Esto puede remediarse una vez deje de tomar el medicamento? o puede ser para siempre el daño?

Respuesta del Dr. Natterstad

Hola,

Lo más probable es que tu "impotencia y ausencia de placer sexual casi absoluta" no tenga nada que ver con tomar Combivir, sino que tenga todo que ver con la ansiedad y el estrés frecuentemente asociados a una exposición significativa al VIH. Supongo que esto se remediará una vez que el impacto psicológico de tu exposición disipe. ¡Tranquilo! No se trata de un daño permanente.

Dr. Steve
