Is HIV PCR test reliable while on pep

2019-07-03 03:51:08
I started to have fever after 1 week of exposure to hiv. One of the doctor suggested me after 2 weeks of exposure for pep treatment. I took it for 2 days then I stopped taking it after knowing that it will only be effective if taken within 72 hours of exposure. I went for the HIV RNA PCR test. I was tested negative. But I took pep till 1 day before the test. Is that test reliable.
