Question
Is it safe to continue having sex?
10 January 2024. Related: Adherence, All topics, PrEP.
I planned on having sex and am on on demand prep.
I had 2 dose at 6:30pm on a Monday, 1 dose at 10:30pm on Tuesday and 1 dose at 6:30pm on Wednesday.
I didn’t end up having sex, but with the 4 hours late on Tuesday, am I safe to have sex on Thursday/Friday if I continue the pattern?
Obviously sticking to the 2 single additional doses after sex too. But not sure the pre-doses are legit?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Yes. If you continue the pattern you are still safe to have sex on Thursday/Friday.
As the initial dose is a loading double dose, this will account for being late on the second day. As you then continued with PrEP, the working levels of PrEP in your body would have quickly recovered from the drop caused by the 4 hour delay.
The pre-doses are legit and as mentioned you can then continue with the 2 single additional doses are sex.
Josh.
