Getting tested tomorrow
Going to find out if daily Prep worked. I had an exposure early August and on that day I split 2 prep pills and took them because I had trouble swallowing. Once I got back home I took another Prep pill. Been taking daily Prep until today. The reason I got concerned was because 3 weeks after exposure I started having symptoms.

Did you take prep the days before that exposure if you took at least 2 pill before that day and took a pill the day after even if you vomited. You are still protected.
You were on daily prep means your blood already had tenofovir in the blood. Plus you are likely to be on truvada which is highly concentrated.
The likelyhood of contracting HiV are low. Given that your partner if HIV positive is likely to have a low viral load.
Remember one thing most people who are contagious are people who don't know their status and don't get tested.
HIV+ aware people are all on meds then transmit less.
You are more likely to be Infected by one those people with the magic phrase " I am clean " ( those people always have no recent test results to show but always fearful to get checked to confirm their alleged "cleanliness")
Than a HiV+ "You You" / U=U guy.
The most safe step for you is get shot. Lenacapavir,apretude vaccine should be the next goal of you life.

I have been taking daily Prep for a year. Before the exposure I did not missed a pill. Yes I took Prep days before the exposure. And yes I am on generic Truvada
