Question: on 25th May I had a brief encounter with a lady whom her HIV status was unknown to me around 6pm Monday. we kissed and she was very wet and I had an erection we were standing by the car, so she had raised he shirt up and i put my penis inside her and thrusted four times then I stopped and pulled out, she went and got water for me and I washed my penis. Today being 27th Wednesday morning she was requesting we made out properly so I had earlier requested for a test before the first incident. Today we ran a test and she was having a double line positive twice and I knew my status which remains negative on the test. after the test I went to consult my doctor and he said I should be careful and and then placed me on PEP. Please tell me what are the odds on this situation explained? My thrusting was 4 times am sure which I stopped.

I am on my 5th day into pep 3 combination but the side effects has been so severe that I was almost stopping the pep, but i held on, hence I want to change to Zidovuden. Can someone please answer me here?

When you say my test was not reliable that I may be in window period? I tested last month last of last month and I have not slept out if not this case which was like my first and with the exposure as explained. I had had an exposure sometime last year August that I had full sexual intercourse with a lady and only found out that she was positive. I started with Zidovuden same day and completely course without side effects and I have been fine. So in this regards I came to my sense and stopped monday 7pm and she tested wednesday i started the 3 combination wednesday 3pm but then the side effects has been so severe i could not function i felt heavy,overloaded ,nightmare,moods, confused, forgetful,and many more. i managed to push it to the 5th day today. so a hiv specialist i spoke to asked me to meet her so she will help give me script to get truvada that it had less side effects. i asked why not zidovuden she says its very simalar with zidovuden and i will have less side effects. am sacred am worrried, am hypertensive i dont know what to do .what have i coursed myself .my kids my wife...i am just alone and lonely in worst. i dnt know what next....last time i suffered great deal and came free . now am in great fear. dr are telling me the pep is extra precaution but not all sex leads to infection. am worried.

I meet a hiv specialist who was on her way oversea and she prescribed truvada for me. She said Efavirenz has terrible side effects. She said they don't give the 3 in one for pep. So I will get the med later and continue with the pep. She says same thing that I should be fine after last dose. That my odds are good and with pep it's much lesser again

Yes I intended on continuing the pep, but was just to change the 3 combination to the truvada? And continue from an hour early when I started the 3 regimen then take it every morning until it's complete 28days. Please advise because the specialist here said I should buy the truvada then kick start immediately I buy it then take it every morning same time until 28days complete. Please advise

Alright am going to buy the truvada now and start it off same time and continue until 28 days. Today was my 6 day so I will continue with truvada for the next 22 days.

In this case I started it in about 40hrs or so, so am in high rate from what you say here Dr? Even as am on pep still

Please don't understand the meaning of negligible risk ?

Dr at what ratio have you had or have infections like related to my odeal? I don't know what to say but am in the balance. I just pissed on my pants. I don't know where and how my life is heading. My kids, my wife, I have just messed up so much
