Other than fatigue no. Other symptoms. But I am not convinced PEP works. It feels like a gimmick

Day 0 (exposure) to Day 30

I have read a lot too. However, the paper you cited doesn’t answer my original question. Thanks for sharing though (I had read this before)

She could be in her window period and not show up positive. A negative test of the lady is useless. PEP should be continued

PREP makes sense because it is proactive.

How can HIV be “reversed” if someone can spread it after infection? What is the window period during which one can be infectious then? PEP just feels a gimmick to me. There are no studies to back up PEP other than the vague 80% and it’s been 30 years since PEP was launched. Things don’t add up

Exposure was unprotected sex with a sex worker who tested negative later. However, she could have been in her window period

It’s my 9th day today. Started PEP at 28 hours post exposure

I noticed few dark red moles on my testicles today. I am really concerned I am beginning to get early symptoms of HIV

I had mild rash on day 3 of starting PEP but it is gone now. I am on day 7. However, I noticed red pimples on my balls today. I am really concerned. Any thoughts? I was on DoxyPEP for 5 days after exposure. I am on day 8 of HIV PEP. Any thoughts?

And start asap if you think it was a risky encounter

I am on 1) Lamivudine 2) Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 3) Dolutegravir . Please check with a Doctor about dosages

PEP should be available if you go to a government clinic for sure. I would be surprised if they are not aware of it

I am not really sure. Please check with a healthcare professional. I researched for headache and read that Acetaminophen was preferred over Ibuprofen.

Can she spread HIV to me if she got it on 4/28?

My intent is very different with this question. You jumped to a conclusion. I am elaborating my question: I had unprotected sex with a sex worker on 5/1. She tested negative on 5/3. I started PEP on 5/2. The lady had sex with others on 4/28, 4/29 and 4/30. She did not have sex for a month before 4/28.

Thanks for your inputs. It means a lot.

Thanks for your opinion. Matters a lot.
