Taking PEP literally gave me a peace of mind. The nausea and drowsiness really sucked for the first week. Now all I get is bloated. Its a fair price to pay to potentially keep you safe 💪🏾

I’m on 7th week since I got exposed. I took pep 4 hours from exposure. Recent test on 7 weeks was negative I’m waiting for 12 weeks to confirm I hope I will remain negative

hello..i had a penile to anal interaction and i have been taking PEP(drug name Acriptega) for the past 1week now. I took the PEP after 29hrs of the potential exposure . Now after 1 week, i am experiencing little fatigueness and little high temp of my body(although i am sure its not a fever) and i think mainly its because of high temp in my city...do you think my PEP is working?? please help..(my age is 19 and i am taking vitC limcee additional)

Too bad coz un my country, the department of health make it a protocol not to give us PEP no matter how many times I beg them yesterday. I dont have peace of mind at all. Today will be the 72 hours for me after the exposure, they just told me to comeback after 3 months. I will surely commit suicide if i get tested positive in 3 months time. 😭
