It seems there is somebody trying to misguide u. And this is happening a lot. Some doctors are charging between 20000 to 50000 for pep. There is no role of q10 and kumrin.
If risk is minimal even raltegravir is not required.
You are taken for a ride.
Please take private consult with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and explain you what is to be done.

Dear lybrate-user,
pep will help you, but they have given you wrong, incomplete and expensive course. Yes, pep should be taken, but It is better to do risk analysis first. Why don't you take a private consult with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and explain you everything. Don't loose time, don't take unnecessarily heavy medicines.

Hello.
The test lab did was most likely 4th gen combo test for hiv 1 and 2.
As its negative at 6 months of exposure you are negative for hiv. (at 90 days after suspected exposure the seroconversion combo test is conclusive). The same is valid for other stis.
28 days of pep are enough. No need for any other tests please. Thanks. Have a good day.

Hello Lybrate User,
Please see about your 3 issues.
Pep- drugs used or not the recommended regimens, as per your info (tdf and raltegravir, generic name). 3 drugs or recommended for effective pep.
The hiv test - done at 3 days after exposure is invalid as even nuclic acid tests can not give valid results before 10 days of hiv infection.
Side effects- could b a possibility.
It would be good if you please consult in pvt an hiv specialist to guide you well before its too late.more
