Hi, my bf is hiv positive and i am hiv negative. We use protection during intimacy and try to be as safe as possible. However the other day the condom broke. We went to the doctor and i was given eflaten which i took within 72 hours and still on it til now. I just want to know, does this drug prevent someone from being infected with hiv if they are negative and taken within 72 hours?

Hello, Babs! How are you?

Yes, some antibiotics and antivirals, such as this medication can help prevent HIV infection, though there are never any guarantees.

The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, headache and stomach pain.

How long did your doctor tell you to take it?
