3 days of PEP does it delay testing result?

[ericcxr]

Dear medical experts
I had act with a guy and start to use PEP by myself, after consulting with a doctor learnt that there was no risk, I stoped it after day 3. I still would like to get tested for more assurance.
After how long I can take a conclusive test after 3 days of pep for 4th generation test?

Disappointing you started a new thread after we fully advised you. No risk means stop pep (never should have started it) and don't test.

Hi GuitarRoc
Sorry about that, I’m still working on the anxiety of fear of hiv. Stoping PEP is first step I’m taking (which definitely should not be taken in the first place). But for testing I’m still a bit reliant on that on my mind. will definitely work this through by steps

Also want to clarify The little risk is from a doctor I visited localy. It is not a mal-interpretation on the other thread which was very clear.

Since you didn't have a risk, NOTHING can affect the test. It will be negative no matter when you take it.

If you absolutely must get tested for peace of mind, the guidelines are the same no matter how many doses of PEP you take. The 4th generation (Ag/Ab) test should not be taken until 28 days after your last dose of PEP. Again, it doesn't matter because any test you take at any time will be negative.

Hello curfewX
Thanks for the reply, the doctor said it’s not a bug risk, but doesn’t require special action. That’s why was a bit concern of the risk left.
And for the test no earlier than 28 days after the last does, is it conclusive or an earliest time which someone can be tested but not conclusive?

There's no need for further advice on unnecessary testing for your no-risk event.

Too add on the statement of the topic the doctor is actually saying there is a little risk but doesn’t require special action
