Physician needing some help with HIV risk

[Question333666]

Hi, I work as a physician but physicians also get worked up and anxious some times. Me and my boyfriend just recently met up with another couple. I had insertive protected sex for maximum of 1 minute followed by oral sex. The condom slipped and we stopped. My boyfriend only had oral sex. We do not know  the other couples HIV status.

2 days after the encounter my boyfriend and I got sore throats and my boyfriend was having fever/chills/cold sweats. We saw another physician and PEP was prescribed. We took 1 day of PEP but I’m not sure if this is really indicated. Can anyone share what to do in this situation? I would appreciate the help, I think the risk is pretty low of getting HIV but sore throat, fever, chills, night sweat kind of scared my boyfriend.

There's no real risk for HIV in the scenario you mentioned.  You used a condom that didn't visibly break, and despite the slip, it covered the head of the penis, and oral sex isn't a risk.   HIV-related symptoms would NOT present that quickly anyway, so it sounds like you and your boyfriend got a common virus.

Again, you didn't have an HIV risk, and I'm not sure why a doctor put you on PEP.
