Should I stop PEP?
Dear forum.
I have accessed PEP from A&E at local hospital yesterday night. The reason behind it is that at a club, my drink was spiked and my friend noticed me leaving to the toilet with another guy (I am a gay guy). I do not know if we had sex in the toilet or not. What I can tell is that my anus felt fine and there was no semen or anything coming from it and it did not hurt and there were no abrasions, suggesting to me that I have not been penetrated. I woke up feeling dizzy, however. There were no stains on my underwear and I cannot recollect penetrating him. However, I was given pep at 65 hours post exposure and took the first dose last night... Should I stop the PEP as this is not necessarily a risk or should I continue on?

Sex and drinks don't mix . It's up to you . If u feel anxious enough then continue with it but If u feel fine about the episode then it's completely your choice .
Can't advise that. PEP is a major decision to start/stop that only a Dr should be recommending.
