Should I stop taking PEP

I posted the below question yesterday, I was said that i am at no risk. But i have started takin PEP for 19 days, should i stop here ? Also can you please let me know the testing guideliness after taking PEP.

=======================================
Exactly 20 days back, i had a protected sex with a massage lady and i am worrying about the hickey i gave her on the breast. I neither tasted blood nor have any sores on my mouth. I heard that the massage ladies are tested every week. But i am very anxious that i might be affected. I visited a local hospital and started taking PEP in 17hrs of exposure. Still stressed and worried. Can anyone tell me whether i am at risk.

The advice before was clear cut, yet you disagree with it because the only science you believe in is your own science fiction theory. Which is unrealistic for you to believe that can become reality since you have no background in biology.
The only risk you have is from the PEP which can have serious side effects.  Therefore see a therapist to help you understand that you had no possible way of getting hiv, because your problem is not hiv disease, it is abnormal fear of disease. Stop taking the PEP asap.
