My condom tored while having sex with female sex worker
I had a sex with a sex worker on Sunday night last week and and my condom tored without me knowing. On Monday, I reached out to my doctor for PEP and he gave me Travuda (Dolutegravir, tenofovir, lamivudine). I took the drug for 5 days and I forgot the drug when I made 2 days travel. What should I do, having skipped taking this drug for 2 days? Should I resume taking the drug? I can't reach my doctor either, I'm confusedr right now.

If you aren't having any ill side-effects from the PEP, you could resume taking it, and then talk to your doctor when you return.

Advising people on how and when to take prescription medication is beyond the scope of this forum. You will need to make a decision on your own, or hope that your doctor returns your phone call.
A one-time encounter is very low risk, so you shouldn't be overly concerned in any case.

If the sw made you use a condom then they are likely negative anyway. You could call the manufacturer of your medication for advice too.
