Second exposure while on pep
Good day, I had unprotected sex with a female partner unknowingly she was hiv postive. We went to the doctor who then gave me pep pills and antibiotics. The 3rd day of my course of medication the condom broke. We haven't had sex since the Condom rapture. My question is will pep still work even on the second exposure? I had started pep within 15 hours.
One course of medication covers both incidents. Even without the PEP a person might not get hiv from either encounter however. Check with your doc to see if you need to take 2 extra days of pills at the end due to the second encounter.
