Hi.
thanks for your query,
as you are previously vaccinated with full course of vaccination,so you will need only 2 doses.that is 0 and on day 3,
5 doses give protection for 5 years with booster every 2 years. to maintain protective level of antibodies.
take care.god bless

hii..
as u have taken full course of ARV..u need to take only two doses of IM ARV on day 0 and day 3..no further inj required..generally ARV full course with booster gives protection for 5 years with booster to be taken every year..
so u go for two doses now..
