Hello, I had protected sex. I went to the doctor he suggested me to be on pep. In the subconscious mind, I had one dosage. After eating one dosage I felt like terrible. Should I quit having pep? Will there be any side effects if I stop having pep.

Hello- pep is a prophylactic treatment given in patients who are supposed to have a risk of hiv infection. Its a life saving therapy so, its not wise to stop it. The drugs may cause some issues but it will prevent hiv infection if you had got one during your unsafe sex. Talk to your doctor regarding the symptoms.
