I completed the ARV ID route 0-3-7-28 days and completed the schedule on 25 sept 2018 but immunoglobulin (HRIG) was not given. WILL THAT EFFECT THE PEP COURSE and once again PEP DOSE WAS COMPLETED ON 25/09/2018? HOW LONG WILL IT PROVIDE IMMUNITY BTW? THANKS.

PEP is a course of anti-HIV medication. PEP is unlikely to work if it's started after 3 days (72 hours) and it won't usually be prescribed after this time. It is best to start taking PEP within 1 day (24 hours) of being exposed to HIV. PEP makes infection with HIV less likely.
