A member asked:
How long after fhe last dose of a 30 day pep regimen (truvada + tivicay) do the drugs keep suppressing the virus if they didnt successfully stop it? no new exposures. how many days after the last dose will the virus begin to replicate agai?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably within a week after the last dose. But this is irrelevant: the important thing is the timing of testing after completing PEP, which has been addressed in your other questions. It's time to stop asking: the opinions and advice you have had will not change.

Once 30 day PEP (truvada + tivicay) regime is completed, how long after the last dose do the drugs keep suppressing the virus if it were unssuccesful? how many days?
My first dose of pep was at 65 hrs (9am) post exposure and it was only truvada. the next day i had truvada at (9am) again and took tivicay at (4pm) and continued to take both at 9 am everyday for the next 30 days. will pep be ineffective?
Can truvada alone be effective a PEP? i took truvada alone for the first dose within the 72 hrs at hr 65. The next day i took truvada at the same time as the first dose and 7 hrs later tivicay, would the late start on tivicay make PEP ineffective?
