A non-reactive test at 2 days is too early to rule out infection. Post-exposure treatment may be needed, but should only be started after medical evaluation, especially with a history of pancreatitis. Consult a doctor immediately to assess risk and safety, and determine the appropriate next steps.

  1. Understanding the Risks After Unprotected Sex

    • Window Period: Initial negative p24 and VDRL tests may not be conclusive. HIV and syphilis have incubation periods; retesting is advised after 3 weeks and again at 3 months.
    • Follow-Up Testing: Essential for accurate results due to potential false negatives early on.

  2. Safety of Taking Duovir with Existing Conditions and Medications

    • Duovir Overview: Contains lamivudine and zidovudine, used for HIV treatment.
    • Potential Interactions: Consult a healthcare provider due to pancreatitis and current medications (Creon and Antoxid HC). Medical supervision is crucial.

  3. Recommendations and Next Steps

    • Consultation: Seek advice from a healthcare provider before starting Duovir.
    • Monitoring: Watch for side effects and manage pancreatitis carefully.
    • Safe Practices: Emphasize safe sexual practices and regular STI testing.

  4. Relevant Medical Specialties and Tests

    • Specialist Consultation: Infectious disease specialist for comprehensive care.
    • Follow-Up Testing: Schedule 4th generation HIV tests and syphilis serology.
    • Monitoring: Regular liver function tests and pancreatic enzyme checks during treatment.
