Brief Answer:
There is no impact.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in "Ask a Doctor".
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Please don't worry! You should know that having poop some hours( one or two) after taking the PEP drugs absolutly doesn't have an impact on effectiveness of these drugs.
Your body takes all the necessary amount of treatment even after you have this physiological process (poop).

Hope I have answered your query.
Feel free to ask me further.
