Question
Are D17/H pills PEP?
6 July 2022. Related: All topics, PEP/PEPSE.
Hello, my questions is:
I was possibly exposed to HIV through sex, and the next morning I went to hospital (a centre for HIV treatment) for PEP. The doctor gave me some pills (D17 on one side and H on the other side). I was in panic that I didn’t ask the name.
Is there anyone who knows it name? Please send me the answer even via email I will appreciate it.
Thank you

Hi, how are you doing?
I do not recognise D17/H as identifiers for HIV medication. Though there are a number of different companies that make the same drug but they all look different.
Have you looked at our ARV guide? You might be able to identify your own medication by looking through this.
If you are having trouble figuring out which medication you have, you can take it to a pharmacist and they will be able to help.
