I started taking PEP a few days ago. I started having lower back aches out of no where is that normal for taking PEP?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Do you know the name of the PEP you are taking?
PEP does not cause back pain. Have you noticed anything else that could have caused this? Have you been straining your back recently? or do you have any other symptoms you have noticed?
If this continues you should speak with your doctor. It is important to address back pain.

Hello Kobela and thanks for getting in touch.
PEP is supposed to be taken for 1 month at a time.
PrEP can be taken on regular or intermittent basis.
You should have follow up and kidney tests every 6 months
Please go back to your clinic and discuss with the doctor about the appropriate next steps for you
