Anyone know PEP?

Anyone know PEP?

Teak et al know my story (or at one point did and since its been forever may have forgotten). Well I took PEP for a month. I'm no longer concerned about HIV.

My question is, is it possible for PEP to cause other diseases? Such as cancer? It seems to me since I've gotten off of PEP, my body has gotten crazy. Excruciating pain everywhere, odd things happening.

Any idea?

This is an older article, but makes a point about PEP being a very serious thing to consider.  I couldn't get PEP prescribed, even after a needlestick from an unknown patient.

You do not get anything in 28 days of taking PEP that is not reversible unless for some reason you have a life threatening reaction to the medication that was prescribed.
