What is Ranega?

Is Ranega an ARV or PEP/PrEP?
Answer
Hi, how are you?
Ranega is a generic version of TLD.
TLD is a medication used as both ARV (ART) and PEP. This is because TLD is a combination of 3 drugs that work to treat HIV. The same medication used to treat HIV is also used in PEP.
TLD is a first line recommendation for both ART and PEP.
TLD is not used as PrEP. PrEP only contains 2 drugs, instead of TLD which contains 3. Though they may use similar drugs.

Good Day,
I had unprotected sex on October 16th, I was at the receptive side and I am a man.
What are my chances of getting hiv from the lady who I don’t know whether she is on ART and some days after sex, she told me that she is sick.
Since then I have been having anxiety and stress, I have loosed some weight.
The symptoms I am having now is sometimes joint pains only.
I’m really worried, what can I do?
