Question: Hi.
Recently I had an exposure to HIV (possibly) I was the insertive partner. I am uncircumcised. I went to the dr and was prescribed a generic Atripla for PeP but have been getting sick. Are these side effects of medicine or stress?
1. Excess sweating
2. Fatigue
3. Vivid dreams
4. Sometimes cough infrequent worse at night
5. Dizziness
I am concerned with seroconversion of HIV I haven't had a noticeable fever took temperature earlier. Hovered around 36.5 - 37.3
