Is PEP Test Done Post 60 Hours Of Exposure Conclusive?
Question: I had brief, unprotected insertive anal sex 12 days ago. There was no blood. I don't know the man's HIV status. I started PEP at 60 hours. I have tested twice, and tested negative for everything. I'm waiting for the results of the HIV RNA test. If they are negative are they accurate since I'm on PEP?
Brief Answer:
The results are reliable.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome to HCM.
The risk of getting HIV from unprotected anal sex is less as conpared to vaginal sex and it was only for brief so no need to worry much about HIV.
You had also started PEP within time and results are also reliable because it has no concern with PEP. Be relaxed and get back to me with HIV RNA result. If still any query left in your mind feel free to ask me any time and I am always here to help you.
Thank You
