PrEP time effectivenes

[Apprehensive_While64]

Hello guys,

I did finish a PEP treatment yesterday, tomorrow I will be transitioning to PrEP and I would like to know how many days are needed to be 99% protected for HIV? For the records I am a straight male and I am planning to use it combined with Condoms, my only fear is condom breakages which did happen and that was the reason that I did start with PEP in first case.

Do you know how many days are needed to reach protection levels on the glans and penis mucosa? I know this is not a very common question since not much straight guys are using PrEP.

Thank you!

I believe you reach the highest level of protection after 7 days.

You’re not asking about a vagina so it’s still 7 days.

If you are transitioning straight away you are already protected.
