What are my chances of infection after the use of PEP? I had vaginal sex with an HIV positive woman and the condom broke. I used PEP after 5 hours of being exposed. I used PEP for four weeks. I am so worried please help.
Answer
Thank you for your question. I can understand your anxiety but I am afraid there is very little data on PEP. The hope and the rationale is that is should work.
