I took atripla as pep within 15 hours of exposure and adhering to the dosing schedule 100%. i read about drug resistance. what is the likelihood that the possible hiv strain be resistant to all 3 components of atripla?

Very much depends on what area in South Africa, who was the source of the exposure (sex worker, person unreliably using HIV medicines) and nature of exposure Most recent data is from 2017, none more recent. Overall average at that time was 22%. See an HIV specialist to discuss
