    Hello! I started PEP yesterday and I’m afraid it can cause major problems to kidneys, liver or bone density. It must be taken for 28 days. It’s called Combivir in english which consists of one pill of AZT 300mg/3TC 150 mg twice a day.
    Can it damage my kidneys, liver or bones?

      Hi Miguel, thanks for reaching out! PEP is not just Truvada. PEP is a cocktail method and all studies indicate that PEP is most effective only when taken within 72 hours of an exposure to HIV.

I had a finger prick then it stopped bleeding the about 40 min later had sex with a sex worker used a condom when I was removing it forgot about the finger and happen to touch it using it, 5 minutes later I remembered and panicked rushed washed my hands and the finger I did pressed it and it started bleeding again. Prior to me pressing it was okay do you think am at risk because I don't know her status . please hell.

      Hi Pawan, PEP is effective in preventing HIV infection when it’s taken correctly, but it’s not 100% effective. The sooner you start PEP after a possible HIV exposure, the better.
