Taking PEP Feb 7, 2013 I had an encounter where there was petting but basically no penetration. I asked the other person I spent the night with was with which was a one night stand and she confirmed there was no penetration or taking off pants. The thing is I was scared of being exposed to HIV as I could not really recall the encounter like what happened but woke up with my clothes on and was kind of convinced I was not exposed. Nevertheless, I was put on PEP because I told the doctor I need to be safe and I was kind of exposed. Should I continue taking PEP considering the risks? |

 Hi and thanks for posting. If there was no penetration, there was no exposure. You don't need PEP. I'd suggest getting HIV testing as part of your routine health care. BY | ||||||||
