Does Reydin work like PEP or PrEP after exposure?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Yes. Reydin can be used as PEP.
Reydin is a generic version of TLD.
TLD is a first line recommendation to be used as PEP. It is not used as PrEP. PrEP is used before an exposure and is usually a 2 drug combination called Truvada.

Hi,
I was exposed to HIV 3 days ago and took the Reydin pills 24 hours after exposure. I am scared and keep thinking about how likely for it to work if I take it properly. What are the chances for it to fail?
Hi Lee, PEP is only required in high risk encounters. Please determine if this was a high risk exposure: https://i-base.info/guides/testing/risks-for-transmission
PEP can be started within 72 hours of an exposure.
