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

Stribild can work as PEP but it isn’t usually offered. It is effective but it is a boosted combination and can cause more prominent side effects. For this reason it is not routinely offered.<\/p>\n

The switch you have suggested would be suitable and switching mid-course would not have an impact on the effectiveness of PEP.<\/p>\n

If you are comfortable on Stribild and are not having any significant side effects, it would be okay to continue with the course. There is no other major benefit of switching. If you are unhappy\/having side effects, it is reasonable to ask for a different combination.<\/p>\n

Is only taking Stribild enough for a good PEP treatment?<\/p>\n

So, I had sex with a female prostitute and the condom came off half the way while I was doing the deed.<\/p>\n

Next day (today) I went to an HIV centre and the doctor said I was qualified to take PEP and just gave me Stribild (1x a day for 4 weeks).<\/p>\n

Then I called the doctor and politely asked him to give me more effective medications such as Truvada with Tivicay.
\nBut the doctor said that this is good medication for me.<\/p>\n

From the information that I could gather on the internet. I concluded that the medication that the doctor prescribed me is a very suboptimal PEP treatment.<\/p>\n

And that I should insist my doctor to give me PEP medications such as Truvada with Tivicay \/ raltegravrir.<\/p>\n

Also, I took 1 pill of Stribild today. Would it have bad consequences to switch to Truvada\/Tivicay from tomorrow onwards?
\nI’m from Belgium if that’s relevant.<\/p>\n

Am I wrong or what should I do? Thank you for your help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,31,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-peppepse","category-side-effects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21081","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=21081"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21081\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23654,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21081\/revisions\/23654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
