I was exposed to HIV then I took pep within 24 hours but the following day after taking a dose of PEP I vomited which was 10 hours after taking the dose. Should i have taken another one?
Answer
Hi, how are you?
No. You did not need to take another dose.
After 2 hours PEP will have been absorbed by your body. After 10 hours there is no risk of you vomiting any PEP.

Hi Judah, vomiting 18 hours after your dose of PEP is not going to be a problem. As long as you don’t vomit within 1.5 hours of taking your treatment, this is enough time for your body to absorb PEP.
You do not need to take any extra doses.
If I drink 5liters and vomit after 18hrs drinking my pep drug do I take onother drug or I Just waiting for my next time
