Question

What if I took PEP as PrEP for three months?

I just found out I have been taking PEP instead of PrEP for the past 3 and a half months.

Will I be ok?

Answer

Hi

Thanks for your question.

PEP usually includes 3 HIV drugs and is only prescribed for one month.

Are you sure that you mean PEP and not PrEP?

Oral PrEP involve only two drugs in one pill and is often prescribed for several months.

Either way, you will be okay.

They both would work as PrEP.

However, you would be taking one more drug than you need if you were using PEP.
