Updated New York PEP Guidelines

Hi all

Did you see the updated guidelines which state that. post pep follow up should be at baseline, 4 weeks and 12 weeks. Do you think CDC will adopt this as well.

12 weeks is conclusive, what are you talking about?

The point of the 2012 guideline is that "routine testing at 6 months post-exposure is no longer recommended" after nPEP treatment.  Asking forum members to predict what the CDC will do about this or any other guideline doesn't assist our members in assessing their risks.

I'm not sure what your point is, or what you're trying to be right about??  A guideline isn't going to typically get into that kind of detail that the test needs to be performed 12 weeks from the last dose of nPEP, that's more something that a clinic or doctor would advise you of.  The prior guidelines didn't mention that either.

That's the recommendation, it only makes sense to extend the testing period to include the course of nPEP, being that the whole point of the nPEP is to inhibit the virus.  Indeed, that could slow antibody production.  That's just a scientific fact. It's irrefutable, but you're entitled to believe what you would like.
