Guidelines recommend to do HIV test, at least 6 weeks after finishing PEP, so that test results are not influenced. In your case, if negative, it is o.k.
hello Sir. did you take PEP after 42 days of exposure?? the PEP is useless after 72 hours of exposure.
in your case pep would have been ineffective if taken after 42 days and hence the test done after six months of second exposure is conclusive of negative status as you didn't get infected . if you need further information please contact me. 9seven111eight5eight2 seven.
