HIV PEP delayed seroconversion symptoms
seabiscuit530
I completed HIV PEP 4 days ago after a 30 day treatment for a needlestick. Today I have a fever. This is 34 days after exposure. Is there a chance that symptoms are from the drug? Could this be a sign of seroconversion? When can I be tested for HIV?

PEP can cause many symptoms. Your fever is not HIV related at this time. You can test 3 months after your last does of PEP.
What are the circumstance surrounding the needle stick?
