Drinking Alcohol After Possible HIV Exposure?
Hello, I may have been exposed to the HIV virus on February 22nd 2008. I was wondering if it is safe to drink alcohol in the next couple weeks. I plan to get tested at the 3 week, 6 week, 3 month and 6 month point as well. Also is smoking marijuana safe as well or does this effect HIV as well.
hi im on pep for the second time now on day 12 will it really work? i had sex with an hiv positive lady i tested negative started pep 10hours after the exposure
so alcohol and pot wont make the virus do anything weird since this would be after i got infected if i did being i would be drinking 1 week after the incident
Now that I've read what your risk was - you need to calm down. Your risk was extremely low.
Alcohol/marijuana does not affect HIV test.
Also, it is not very wise to take 4 tests for a single risky incident.
