Brief Answer:
Your HIV risk is almost nil with early PEP

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to ASK A DOCTOR through HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
CD4 count of that girl is fairly better. But the viral load has more value than CD4 count in assessing the transmission risk of HIV. An undetectable viral load is equal to untransmittable infection.
But as you had started PEP, that too within 24 hours, you are absolutely safe. Even if we consider that you had come across the infectious material, it would have been aborted by PEP. Complete the course of PEP for 4 weeks without any break.
I would like to know your regimen of PEP.
Have you had basic HIV test before starting PEP? The test has to be repeated after every month for 3 month and another after 6 months after the exposure.

You are safe, not to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome back
The latest combination of drugs has been recommended to you. That's fine. You are following the PEP protocol. You had started PEP earlier. So you need not worry. Complete the course without any break. You are safe.
