This is regardless of you switching the type of PEP you were on at 55 hours.<\/p>\n<p>While not the most effective, a 2 drug combination like Truvada is still used as PEP and is shown to be effective. Switching to TLD within the time frame is only going to improve how well your course of PEP works.<\/p>\n<p>How risky was your HIV exposure? Chances for seroconversion are low given you started PEP so soon.<\/p>\n<p>Swollen lymph nodes can be a sign of a number of infections. HIV being much less likely than a common cold or even COVID.
