PEP adherence

Dear Doctor,

I had a unprotected sex with a partner with unknown HIV status but belongs to high risk catageroy. I had consulted my general pgysician who had recommended me with PEP. I have been taing it for last 22 days. The drugs that have been prescribed to me is Combavir and Stocrin. As i read more and more on web, i come to know that these drugs should be taken with a proper gap after meal or before meal. My physician had just asked me to take these medicines after breakfast and after Dinner. can you pls guide me on it.

Stay off the damn Internet and take the meds as prescribed by your doctor.The instructions are on the label.
And stop having unprotected sex. If they don't sell condoms in Mumbai, let me know........I'll send you a gross.
Get educated about HIV.

Taking them with food may increase the side effects it's best to take them on an empty stomach.
