pep-hiv Apr 11, 2012 Good morning, after a high risk exposure for HIV, due to a sexual assault, doctors recommended me a pep, truvada+kaletra. Today it's my third day of prophylax. I read that azt is more efficient, is it true? Should I ask doctor for a change of medicines or it's already too late? Thanks for your answer |

 Hi and thanks for posting. While US guidelines refer to using Combivir (AZT/3TC) with Kaletra for nPEP, the substitution of Truvada (tenofovir/FTC) for AZT/3TC is widely considered acceptable. I don't think that there's any need to change medications. Be well, BY | ||||||||
