Almost event based dosing.

[NJGB]

Hey so I know that chances are I am completely safe, I just wanted to run this by you guys.

Yesterday I went back on PREP, took one pill at 1 pm. At around 5 I went on grindr and started talking to a daddy. I knew about event based dosing so I took another pill, and went to his house and got bred.

So I took one bill 4 hours before and a second pill maybe 20-30 minutes before. Event based dosing says to take 2 pills 2-24 hours before.

 

He says neg and Im sure he is, but I found at after he bottoms (I thought he was a total top) and he ended up blocking me on my way home. So I got a little spook he's a stealther.

 

I am planning on taking my prep once a day as prescibed, but I don't want to spend the next 3 months wondering if I converted!

 

Is taking one bill 4 hours before and a second before a fuck going to provide any protection in the event I was exposed to HIV?

I don't think event-based dosing really works, it takes time for Prep to work, so probably not in 4 hours. If you are really worry, get PEP. 

[BareboyQ]

You might have had some kind of protection but not to the full extent prep usually offers.

To be safe go get PEP and better use the daily dosing of prep.

Although event based dosing seems to work there are several uncertanties about it. Some guy here for example recently posted he got pozzed while using event-based prep.

You're poisoning yourself. The liver and other organs won't like it. And I highly doubt the overdosing can do anything PrEP wise.

A so-called porn "fluffer" was at an orgy I attended recently, I listened to what he told a newbie twink about bulking PrEP before and after probable HIV exposure, I don't buy that spiel at all. But getting pozzed doesn't always follow even with being dicked by a POZ person.

Advising people that PrEP is "poisoning yourself" is about the crappiest advice I can imagine.

No, I'm saying double dosing is.

Double-dosing (two pills a few hours before sex), coupled with single doses 24 and 48 hours after the sex, is the recommended dosing for "PrEP on demand", which is what he was describing, as he'd stopped taking his PrEP meds and was just starting back up. The single dose he'd taken (after some period of days, weeks, or months without taking any) would have been useless for the sex he had that same day, if he hadn't double-dosed.

He didn't say he was taking two doses all the time.

Please go to the physician that proscribes your PrEP and talk about this to him or her. Ask your questions there as your doctor has about 10 years of academic medical eduction and trying.

You might want to ignore information on the internet and especially any social medium that hands out uhm... alternate medical 'facts'.

I have recently started taking PrEP daily and was looking for experiences other men have who use it.

I am sorry to have just read your story because there are two important things missing in what people have been telling you.

 

First your question: Yes I think PrEP will have given you some but not the full protection. So the risk you have been exposed to is less.

I do not know if you have been stealthed by the guy that fucked you and is now ghosting you but it is always prudent to assume someone you have sex with is HIV-positive and that is why it is smart to take PrEP and/or use a condom. But you probably know that already.

 

The first think I am missing is the fact that it might have been advisable to have gone on PEP for a month. One of the guys that answered your question did post a link to prepster.info where this is explained. I don't know why he did not tell you this in his reply:

MISSED DOSE?

If you miss a dose or mess up the timing, continue with the follow-up doses and contact your sexual health clinic for advice on your options. This may include starting PEP – see below for more details about risk.

 

And the other thing nobody has been talking about are other STD's.
