I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. It is recommended that you be tested at 2 time points after starting pep. The first test at 6 weeks can detect early hiv infection. If the test is positive, early detection has the benefit of being able to start hiv treatment as soon after infection as possible. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
