If someone has finished taking PEP, and have not worked when do signs start to show up?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
If PEP fails, it will postpone seroconversion and the symptoms associated with it. For this reason symptoms would be expected 1-3 weeks after finishing PEP. Symptoms are not very specific and is commonly caused by other infections e.g., cold and flu. In 1 in 5 people they will not experience any symptoms at all.
