Timing of PEP and Missed Dose

Hi
Thanks for all the help provided by the blog.

I started PEP after a relatively risky exposure. However, I started Turvada 42 hours after exposure. I've read that Truvada has a limited effectiveness after 24 hours. Is this accurate?

I also missed a dose on day 10 and from day 16 got general lymphadenopathy, headaches and other ARS-like symptoms.

Can anyone help?
