Hi, I had sex with an HIV positive lady but I was given PEP. I usually take them at 9 pm but yesterday I took them 5 minutes late, am I at any risk of HIV?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
No. Being 5 minutes late with PEP is not going to risk it not working.
It is okay to be 5 minutes early/late with PEP. This will not change how effective treatment is.

Hi Moses, yes it can. What medicine do you want to take? and what is the name of the PrEP you are taking?
Can prep be taken together with another medicine……
