Stavudine does not stop the spread of HIV to others through blood or sexual contact. Use barrier methods of birth control (eg, condoms) if you have HIV infection. Do not share needles, injection supplies, or items like toothbrushes or razors. Stavudine is not a cure for HIV infection. Patients may still get illnesses and infections associated with HIV. Remain under the care of your doctor. Do not stop taking Stavudine, even for a short period of time. If you do, the virus may grow resistant to the medicine and become harder to treat. Changes in body fat (eg, an increased amount of fat in the upper back, neck, breast, and trunk, and loss of fat from the legs, arms, and face) may occur in some patients taking Stavudine. The cause and long-term effects of these changes are unknown. Hormonal birth control (eg, birth control pills) may not work as well while you are using Stavudine. To prevent pregnancy, use an extra form of birth control (eg, condoms). Lab tests, including liver and kidney function tests, may be performed while you use Stavudine. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. It is not known if Stavudine can cause harm to the fetus. If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Stavudine while you are pregnant. It is not known if Stavudine is found in breast milk. Mothers infected with HIV should not breast-feed. There is a risk of passing the HIV infection or Stavudine to the baby.
