Q: Broken Condom With Sex Worker? Do I Need to Get PEP Theary ?

I was having sex with a sex worker last nite. I was wearing condom as I always do. The condom broke during the middle of intercourse. I cummed inside her. I am now scared that I will get HIV. Its has been about 24 hrs since the episode.

I have read about PEP treatment which has to be taken in 72 hrs from the time of infection.

Please advise me on the treatment and where I can take it (like medicines etc).

Here is some information on the PEP. http://www.aids.org/factSheets/156-Treatme nt-After-Exposure-to-HIV-PEP.html

You would have to talk to your doctor or an STD clinic about getting it.

I started with PEP duovir (same as combivir) twice daily, but taking it for about 3 days I developed side effect. I felt nausa, and vomitting all the time, so, had to stop. Now the doctor is saying to wait for 3 months and than we will deicide what to do next? Do you suggest anything?

Sorry, I don't know what to suggest for you at this point. I am not even all that familiar with PEP. You could always get a second opinion from a different doctor if you're doubting your doctor a bit.
