[Question #4282] PEP
81 months ago
|
Hi there. I had protected intercourse with a massage worker.
During the intercourse 2 time I took out my part and saw the condom is there
and safe. I ended up coming inside her. But when I took my part out of her I
saw my cum inside her vagina and the condom broke (The time that exposure ended
was 11:35 AM). I freaked out and she said she is clean and those stuffs but who
knows. I immediately go to doctor and she gave me PEP which is 2 medicines (TIVICAY 50 MG and TRUVADA). I start taking
these two 4 hours and 30 minutes after my exposure( at 4:00 pm the same day).
I have 2 questions.
(1) Is it possible that PEP actually give or cause me HIV
virus? (I know its silly question, but just want to know?)
(2) Do you think is there any chance that if she had HIV
virus and if I catch the virus, I might get clear after 28 days? because I read
in internet and I see everyone saying its a might, its not effective 100
percent and you might ended up positive.
Thank you.
