Hi I Had Unprotected Sex With A Prostitute In South
Hi I had unprotected sex with a prostitute in South Africa. I only realized at the end that the condom broke during the 3 minute ordeal. I panicked and ran to the ER. The doctor gave me a PEP called Tribuss. I was HIV negative at the time of this disaster. I took my first pill at around 11pm, and because I was so scared I took the second one at 8am the following morning. I was supposed to take these pills once a day. Now because of the over dosage, I got so sick and delayed taking the third pill by 6hours. After that I started taking the pills as prescribed (once per day). I am now two weeks through the PEP treatment but i feel my neck lymph nodes becoming tender and slightly swelling up. They are not painful though. Is it possible that the HIV got resistant to the PEP because of the 6 hour delay. I am so scared and I have already lost 4kgs. Bear in mind that in South Africa HIV prevalence is very high and most prostitutes carry the HIV strain that is drug resistant. Your answers will be greatly appreciated. Regards
