explanation

metronidazole. What instructions should she be given?

Metronidazole may be associated with a disulfiram reaction when mixed

metronidazole is to avoid alcohol entirely while this medication is being

dose of medication. The disulfiram reaction is characterized by fever,
abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and headache. This reaction is called
the “Antabuse” reaction.

does not insure that she is not infected. This signifies that she has not
seroconverted at this time. The period within 3 months after exposure is
termed the “window period” and a negative screen must be confirmed.
If a 4th generation assay is used and the screen is negative 3 months
after the last exposure, and there is no concern for coinfection with
hepatitis C at the time of HIV exposure, she is considered to be negative.
HIV screening should be performed in any patient who develops
symptoms consistent with HIV after an exposure.
