Question: I took PEP for 28 days after exposure but still tested positive what should i do
Answer: Hi 
If you have tested positive then you should get to any General Hospital or teaching hospital around you to do a confirmation test to be sure If the result remains positive you will be put on drugs immediately Its important that you are started on treatment immediately as the earlier you start the better I want you to know that being tested positive is not a death sentence it doesnt mean that the world has come to an end I know people who have been positive for over 20 years and are still alive and thriving They are doing fine because they are taking their drugs and following instructions that they were given As long as you are on drugs you will do fine with nothing to worry about People who are on their drugs and comply with directions get to have kids who are born negative and are uninfected So anywhere you are head to a General Hospital or Teaching hospital and ask for a confirmation test or the HIV clinic and you will be managed as required
Take care
