PEP For HIV

Hello, I saw someone posting almost an exact same scenario as I went through (i guess I'm not the only dummy out there) which was I went to a "massage shop" and a hand job turned into having sex with a condom. This was the first and LAST time i will ever do this, the stress is eating at me bigtime....Anyway to my question, in my high anxiety state, I decided to go to the ER and get post-exposure anaphylaxis. The doctor gave me 3 atripla tablets-1tab per day... And said those should suffice. I have tried to research this treatment and this doesn't seem to be the norm...

I'm just not 100% sure that the condom didn't break because I was really drunk, the doc probably thought I was overreacting but I made this decision that I would have never made sober and I feel terrible about it. I'm going to get tested immediately but there's that big window that I'm concerned about. Also will the medication have any effect on the STD test?

Thanks for answering all these questions, I'll be checking my e-mail VERY often to get your feedback.

You would have known if the condom broke,it would have been obvious even if you were tanked and that doctor is an imbicile for giving you that medication for a zero risk situation.your safe and require no testing.

Thanks for replying, I'm not sure if it was completely zero risk though... again I was really drunk but I do remember putting a condom on, I'm just not sure it was on properly or whatever...I don't do this type of thing often and these next few weeks are going to be hell, because that's going to be on the back of my mind.

You have any thoughts on the regiment of meds he put me on?
