Question

PEP questions about dosing and symptoms…

23 August 2024. Related: All topics, PEP/PEPSE.

Hi, I have start the PEP after 60h of possibly exposure and today is my eleventh day on the course. Is it too late to start the PEP?

When I first visited the doctor I also tested for other STD as well and the result are negatives, but around 3 or 4 days after I start the PEP I felt a little discomfort in one side of my ballsack and after another 3 or 4 day I felt a bit sore at the back of my thigh and then after another 2 or 3 I felt a slight bit of pain at my lower back. While those pain and sore only last a day or two it’s have gone but I start to felt a lump in that side of my ballsack.

Are those are the symptoms of HIV?
