PEP is like killing me from inside ..very strong and i m not able to work or think these days...having fever headache, nausia and diaherria ... for second openion i get time on this friday from a doctor ... so untill that should i dont stop PEP ?? as Litlefox suggest "No" for both questions. and all this scenerio i already spend around $1500 (if i am free then i never regert for that as i did best from my side)
/
finally doctor is asking me to complete 14 days medicine course and get a PCR test after 12 days (which ll cost 700 $ ) to get complete results
Considering that the lady used a condom with you, why would she not always wear a condom? she was likely to be hiv- and besides your risk was Zero. It is terribly unfortunate that you were exposed to those strong meds, and clear you were probably never exposed to HIV.
You must be so stressed, and unwell. Because the doctor told you its a risk, it must be very difficult to disregard in your mind, but its not supported by current evidence. Get a second opinion, and for some sanity read all the doctor's posts...you will feel better. What ever you do now, remember that you will be over this soon, and 100% sure to be healthy. I know how worried you feel (though i dont know what its like to take pep).
good luck

PLEASE invite him to this site....if anything, to READ. He is wrong wrong wrong!!!!
Your "lesion" sounds simply like a pimple, or ingrown hair...something like that. Personally, it doesn't sound like something to be concerned about at all.
The only thing we can do is tell you that your doc is misinformed. There ARE a lot of people out there (professionals included...I work with them EVERYDAY) who really were NOT properly educated about HIV. They were given the "scare" course where "everything" is a risk. He THINKS he is right b/c of what he learned, but he isn't. I wish he would read in the expert forum, manned by two Infectious Diseases docs who have decades of combined experience in dealing with HIV.
Find yourself another doctor, b/c this one prescribed you a VERY VERY strong (toxic even) medication for ZERO reason.
