Are you able to speak to a doctor? Truvada does contain some of the medication of PEP, but adding a third drug (maybe raltegravir or dolutegravir) with Truvada would be better.<\/p>\n<p>However this does depend on availability and other options may be available where you are.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you can&#8217;t get an additional drug, there is still benefit to taking Truvada and it will reduce the risk of transmission.<\/p>\n<p>Josh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello I&#8217;m writing from South America, Chile, first thing I am sorry about my English since it is not my first language.
