Hi George,
Does PEP works like PrEP?
I am going thru PEP treatment and had another exposure during this time. One day after the exposure I took PEP two times, because I thought I haven’t took the first time. This day I had strong symptoms of fever, nausea, diarrhea, tiredness, etc..
Those are symptoms are linked to PEP, also to acute HIV infection, also Mononucleosis.. I want to know If I should extend the PEP to 28 days after this second exposure.
Hello! I started using PEP after 64 hours, now I’m worried it won’t help. I was infected with unprotected sex with an HIV-positive person who was not receiving treatment. Has anyone ever had such situations? and if it helped you?
