If you take antiviral drugs for postexposure treatment, you should be checked for drug toxicity, including a complete blood count and kidney and liver function tests just before starting treatment and 2 weeks after starting treatment. Such an illness or symptoms may suggest HIV infection, drug reaction, or other medical conditions. These include refraining from blood, semen, or organ donation and abstaining from sexual intercourse. If you choose to have sexual intercourse, using a latex condom consistently and correctly may reduce the risk of HIV transmission. If you give permission, your health-care provider will provide information to the Registry about the exposure, the antiviral drugs taken, abnormal laboratory findings, and physical symptoms associated with the use of these drugs.
