Hiv risk

Had protected sex with transsexual. Male to female. At the end of the encounter briefly I put my penis in again without a condom a few times thenback out quickly. Person assured me they were negative and I had prep at home that I’d take now and again so I took it everyday for 3 weeks after and on the night of the encounter. Booked tests for next week that will be 6 weeks since incident just looking to get some thoughts on matter from a level head as I’m panicked slightly

PrEP is intended for pre-exposure prevention.  If you meant PEP, a full course of PEP, in order to be effective, is a 4-week course, not 3 weeks.

You can get a reliable test result 4 weeks after your last dose of PrEP or PEP.

I know I took prep before not everyday and just took it everyday after because I was slightly worried. Just wanted thoughts on the initial risk itself. The person assured me of their stays as negative and showed me results from their last test a month before hand but gettin worried maybe all in my head
No idea whether that person is infected or not, so impossible to give real odds.  This is compounded by use of medication that is inconsistent with its intended use.  Again, test 4 weeks after your last dose of meds to get your result.    Discuss your use of medication with the doctor who prescribed it.
Tested again at 6 weeks done a blood test from the arm. Came back negative thankfully
