"take a 4th generation Duo test 28 days later. That's all you can do." Testing using your own made-up schedule of every 2 weeks will prove nothing, so you should do as advised instead.

I read your other posts. First HIV is not diagnosed by symptoms.  Sore throats are common.  Did you see your doctor as clearly advised by our members? That should be who you are receiving your pep from.  It's normally very effective at preventing HIV when used correctly.  When you finish your course of pep, you should take a 4th generation Duo test 28 days later. That's all you can do. The actual risk from what you describe is VERY LOW.  Less than 1 percent chance.  So, finish your pep, wait 28 days and test.  You should be negative.  But that way you'll know for sure. Until then, this is likely just a sore throat like everyone gets from time to time.
