“Post exposure prophylaxisis med?”
I got exposed to a high-risk HIV individual and I am on post-exposure prophylaxis. The regimen is Tenofovir 300 mg 1 pill, Lamivudine 300 mg (2 pills a day of 150 mg each), and Rilpivirine. I problem is, I just realized that have only been taking 1 pill of Lamivudine instead of 2. I have been taking this regimen for 15 days. Is this regimen useless now or should I continue with the current regimen?
