PEP?
I am a male living in the US. 12 hrs ago I might of had an exposure. I was the receptive with a transexual. The person had a condom on prior to insertion. After about 30 seconds to 1 minute I pulled away cause I didn't feel comfortable. When I stood up I notice the condom was stuck to my anus. I ask the person if the condom was on and the person replied yes, but I'm not sure. I text this person a couple of more times if he was absolutely sure the condom was on. He replied yes. I asked if he knew his HIV status twice but nebver responded to the ?s. So I'm worried yhat I might have been expose and should I take PEP. Thoughts and risk? Thanks.
Thanks Teak. Having neck ache and feels like pressure building up and stressing me out. So you're reply is appreciated and thanks for all you do.
Is it likely to develop swollen lymph nodes back of neck 2-3 days post possible exposure without any other symptoms?
PEP is only ever prescribed when a person is known to be at high risk. A high risk would be classified as unprotected anal and/or vaginal sex with somebody who is known to be HIV positive. I personally do not see this criteria for filled for your circumstances but this is something that should be discussed with your doctor.
