If you stopped PEP after only 10 days Protection may be incomplete. Incomplete PEP may reduce protection, so follow-up testing becomes more important.

Hi, if PEP was taken for only 10 days (incomplete course), it may not provide full protection. An incomplete PEP course can also delay seroconversion, which means the 21-day window may not be reliable for a conclusive result. For a 4th gen test, it's generally recommended to test at 45 days post-exposure for a more accurate result in such cases.
