Hi, how are you doing?<\/p>\n
Thanks for writing out the dosing schedule: 2 pills on Tuesday 9pm, Wednesday 9am sex, 1 pill Thursday morning 9am, Friday morning 5am.<\/p>\n
This means you were 12 hours late with PrEP?<\/p>\n
Do you know if this was a ‘risky’ exposure e.g., HIV positive partner with high viral load, other STIs, drugs etc…?<\/p>\n
Some PrEP is always going to be better than no PrEP and as the first dose was a double dose there is some protection afforded for longer than 24 hours.<\/p>\n
The same level of protection cannot be guaranteed as if taken as recommended but it can still reduce the risk of HIV.<\/p>\n
The gap of 12 hours is going to have some impact on how effective PrEP is but the initial double dose will help with this.<\/p>\n

Hi, I am on the 2-1-1 protocol. On Tuesday night I took 2 pills, Wednesday morning had sex, didn\u2019t take the pills Wednesday night because to my horror I left my pills in my locker at work, I immediately took the missed dose the following morning (Thursday) and then my 3rd dose early Friday morning. How bad is this? Here\u2019s the dosing schedule that occurred.<\/p>\n
