Just denied PEP -Thoughts?

Hello

I am from the UK, and last night had sex with CSW. We had protected anal sex until the condom broke. I withdrew 10 seconds later after realising.

I went to a clinic this morning and they denied me PEP. Do you think I should pursue this and get it from elsewhere?

Thanks in advance.

So I ended up getting Pep. I took my first dose at 42 hours post the incident. Does anyone have stats on the success rate of pep?

Thanks

Thanks for your response Vance - so you think I should avoid pep? I don't want to leave anything to chance....

The risk is actually low enough where most educated people would not advise PEP in that situation.

Go get it somewhere else. Did you ask the CSW her hiv status?
