Hi doctor,I am a 28 year old male and had unprotected anal-vaginal intercourse with a sex worker, me being the active partner. I was put on PEP immediately within 11 hours post exposure and the first dose of PEP was the tablet TLE (Tenofovir/Lamuvidine/Efavirenz), given to me on the morning of 10th. I was asked to follow up the next day with an HIV specialist and she changed my PEP regime to a combination of Tenofovir/Emtricitabine and Dolutegravir as they are more effective. As I was worried and had fever for two days, I did an HIV PCR RNA test qualitative exactly after 10 days from exposure. The results came back \not detected\.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I have noted your concern. Perhaps your question was not completely typed. Anyways, your PEP regime of Tenofovir/Emtricitabine and Dolutegravir is recommended one. Continue with it for 28 days.  As far as the HIV PCR RNA test is concerned it is not a reliable test while on PEP. You need to wait for your PEP to be over before testing. Regards.
