Do not panic and at once opt for PEP. It is the best thing to do. A 28 day TLE regimn. Even if he is clean there is no harm in starting TLE. And if you can get him tested for HIV then you can stop the course in between. PEP should be started max within 48 hours of contact. In the beginning you might feel a little dizzy, nauseous and loss in appetite but slowly you will adjust. Medicine is to be taken empty stomach.
