Last question from me is she won't test even if you pay for it?
Hello Stevebalt,
Kudos to you for making a good decision in taking PEP after your exposure. I would suggest you complete the PEP prescription as given by your Doctor and return to him/her after finishing it for further instructions as to when you can re-test for a confirmatory result that you did not contract the virus.
Some medical practitioners will test you 6 weeks post PEP and do a confirmatory test again at 12 weeks. However as said earlier on , please liaise as much as possible with your Doctor on this one.
I would also advice you to avoid re-exposing your self during this period by having unprotected sex or sharing IV needles as this will prolong your window period and it would make it difficult for your Doc to assess the effectiveness of your PEP medication.
Odds-PEP is very good in the prevention of the infection but not foolproof or 100% effective.
Hope you enjoy your day.
Take a duo 4 weeks after you finish the PEP. Can you get her to test now, because that would give you the best answer about your risk?
