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.

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