    Taking PEP literally gave me a peace of mind. The nausea and drowsiness really sucked for the first week. Now all I get is bloated. Its a fair price to pay to potentially keep you safe 💪🏾

    I’m on 7th week since I got exposed. I took pep 4 hours from exposure. Recent test on 7 weeks was negative I’m waiting for 12 weeks to confirm I hope I will remain negative

      Maybe they want to make money 💰💰💰💰💰 from prep if they make a vaccine they will loose money for example Antidepressants cause permanent sexual side effects the condition is called PSSD GOOGLE PSSD PSSD PSSD they won't get rid of Antidepressants because they make money

      Some people who take PEP experience temporary side effects such as nausea, fatigue and diarrhea. For most people, side effects are mild and manageable. Side effects can vary depending on the type of drugs prescribed for PEP and the person who is taking them. Talk to your doctor or nurse practitioner if you are having side effects from PEP.

    Too bad coz un my country, the department of health make it a protocol not to give us PEP no matter how many times I beg them yesterday. I dont have peace of mind at all. Today will be the 72 hours for me after the exposure, they just told me to comeback after 3 months. I will surely commit suicide if i get tested positive in 3 months time. 😭
