Hi, I am on day 10 of PEP. I had sex with my negative partner. What can I do now because she doesn’t know that am on PEP?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Your girlfriend does not need to start PEP. Given that you are on PEP yourself, you are unlikely to pass on HIV to someone else.
However, if you test positive after PEP, which again is unlikely if you continue with your course, it is important that your girlfriend would then also be tested.
If you remain negative – you can test from 6 weeks after PEP using a 4th generation test, your girlfriend would not need to test.
Josh.
