Sir/mam I have been prescribed to take pep after unprotected vaginal sex (33 hrs after exposure exactly). Doctor told me take for 28 days. But pep container contains 30 tablets. Shall I take 30 tablets for more effectiveness since I have taken pep after 30 hrs of exposure or go by doctor prescription. He told 28 days is enough even I do not need to do any test as it will give complete protection. Please tell me what to do. thank you current medications: tenofovir emtricitabine dolutegravir.
