Q: what should i do to get rid of the risk of pregnancy after 5 days of unprotected sexual behaviour ?

: You can take Plan B (emergency birth control) but you are at the limit of its usefulness. Otherwise obtain from sexual activity and take a pregnancy test in about 2 weeks. Going forward, you need to think long and hard about participating in risky sexual behavior. Best not to do and develop a plan for more effective regular birth control.
