PEP: HIV prevention?: Am i reading this question correctly? You are on pep after a sexual exposure for HIV and you now have a rash on your hand? A rash in response to HIV medications is not unheard of, but it seems very early in the process if you have only had one or two doses of the medication. I want to know more. If this is allergy make sure you are able to swallow and breathe well.
