Question
I didn’t double dose for on-demand PrEP…
13 August 2022. Related: Adherence, All topics, PrEP.
Since I took PrEP on-demand by using the method 1:1:1 instead of 2:1:1 did it give me a bit of protection, or not at all?
I took the first pill around 1 pm, I had sex around 10 pm and then I took 1 pill the day after and another one after two days..
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Yes, taking the 1 pill instead of 2 is still going to provide you with some protection. It is always better to have something rather than nothing.
There are also other factors of sex that will change the risk.
Is there a reason you only took one pill on the first day?
