Concern after sex
Hello. My daughter is 23 and had unprotected sex yesterday. She has never done this before and is very upset, there was a problem with the condom. She took Plan B today. Should she take PEP as well? She has no reason to believe the man is HIV positive and he says he is not, but I am concerned.

Next Steps
Many infections can be transmitted sexually. Further management requires more clarity about the partner and more details.
