Hi Kwazi, how are you?<\/p>\n

Are you able to access a healthcare clinic. If you have not been on PEP for the last 6 weeks you can use an Antigen\/Antibody 4th generation test. This will be able to confirm your status. The symptoms you have mentioned are possibly due to seroconversion but there are a number of other possible causes that would need to be checked by a doctor.<\/p>\n

I understand why you\u2019re scared but it is important to remember HIV is not easy to transmit and you have been on a course of PEP. This link<\/a> might be of some benefit about fear and anxiety towards testing\/waiting for results.<\/p>\n

TLD is a recommended combination of PEP. Kovatrax is a brand version of TLD which you have mentioned. Taking one a day for the 28 days is the correct recommendation for a course of PEP.<\/p>\n

Please see this link for more information about PEP:

Hi, I have been having pain in my right ear and now a high fever. I’ve started coughing and having mucous and bodily aches that are unbearable. It’s been 7 weeks post PEP. Does that mean I am seroconverting? I have lost weight also. I am waiting to take a rapid test. Was the PEP treatment correct? I was given TLD one pill to take for 28 days and the brand name is Kovatrax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,22,31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-hiv-testing","category-peppepse"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18922"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18922\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23945,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18922\/revisions\/23945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
