Do I Have HIV? / Re: On demand-prep and VERY HIGH risk exposure
« Last post by Jim Allen on Yesterday at 09:56:48 am »I read your post three times, what this person did might be a criminal offence in some jurisdictions and I am sorry to hear this happened to you.
In brief, there was condomless intercourse but you are taking PrEP On-demand and started 4 hours before sex. On-demand (event-based PrEP) is highly effective and the initial double dose should be between 24 and 2 hours before sex. https://i-base.info/guides/prep/real-life-examples-for-on-demand-dosing
Their test results are meaningless to you due to the window period and for several other reasons and puking the next day will not change PrEPs effectiveness.
Anyhow, I read what you posted here and I see no reason for any HIV stress or testing outside of routine, as you are using PrEP ideally you should get an HIV & STI screening every three months.
Here's what you need to know to reduce your HIV risks:
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse correctly and consistently, with no exceptions. Continue to use PrEP as an additional layer of protection against HIV and get vaccinated against HPV, Hepatitis A & B.
Keep in mind that some sexual practices described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV still pose a risk for other easier-acquired STIs. So please get tested routinely, ideally every three months as a PrEP user.
Also, note that it is possible to have an STI and show no signs or symptoms; testing is the only way to know.
Kind regards
Jim
