A member asked:
Can pep suppress to detect hiv after window period (3 months) if pep is started after 2 months of exposure assuming hiv virus transmitted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post exposure: First pep done two months after exposures would not prevent infection. Nor would it prevent HIV antibody production in the infected person. A regular HIV test would be able to pick that up. Hiv RNA testing would be an invalid screening test while on HIV medication.

Started pep for 28 days after 9 weeks of exposure.Will it affect to detect HIV after window period if HIV transmitted? Result was negative on 8 weeks
As I understand Hiv algorithm,the people sick with hiv for 2 weeks they will be positive because antibodies will produce to react the virus. If no symtoms then you need to test at window period to be sure,at the end just follow the window period?
Does hiv window period depend upon the number of virus entered in body? More virus=early hiv detection by pcr or 4th & less virus=late hiv detection?
Few hours ago, I slept with a women whom Im not sure of, if she's HIV+ or-, I wont risk my health. Is there a flushing drug that i can use for a short period to get the virus if any out of my system. I don't want the 28days PEP, it's too long.
