Hello, I had unsafe sex about 18 days ago and started PEP treatment about 4 hours after probable exposure. I am still in stress though and wanted to know when I can first check if I was infected. I do sweat at night which I read is a possible symptom of infection but on the other hand I usually sweat at night so I am not sure... Thanks,
Symptoms of HIV/ AIDS does not occur so early. Your sweating in the night is related to anxiety or fear perhaps for which you can take Tab Erika in the night before sleep. As far as HIV is concerned, the earliest possible test is p24 assay which can be done after 2-3 weeks. Or you can go for ELISA or Wester Blot test after a month. Continue the post exposure prophylaxis for 4 weeks. Just consult your treating physician.
