Question
Am I having a breakout because of PEP?
25 January 2023. Related: All topics, PEP/PEPSE.
I am having breakout on my face, I have been on PEP for more than 2 weeks. Is the breakout symptoms of HIV or is it because of stress I am dealing with or PEP consumption related? (I have pimple showing up after one has healed but still has a mark. Normally i rarely get consecutive pimples on my chin/mouth area)
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
A breakout is not a symptom of HIV. As you have mentioned, this breakout is most likely caused by the stress of being on PEP.
A breakout is a normal thing. PEP is not going to cause this.

Hi David, the best PEP is what you can get access to. There isn’t a combination that is more effective than another. In most countries the first combination of PEP that is recommended to be used is TLD.
