In other words, the one pill has to be taken daily for 2 days after the exposure has occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason for starting PrEP as singular dosage daily, 7 days prior to the date of planned exposure or 2 pills together at same moment, 2-24 hours prior to one&#8217;s time of planned exposure, is that it takes 7 days of daily singular dosage of PrEP medications or 2-24 hours with 2 pills consumed together at the same moment; to reach the bioactive concentration levels in the anorectal tissue so that if at all there is an entry of HIV during penp-anal intercourse, it can be checked by the active levels of PrEP in the ano-rectal&nbsp; tissue then and there, itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, on-demand PrEP regimen is not encouraged over the methods of daily dosage regimen as frequent or irregular cycles of initiation and stoppage of PrEP medications can lead to PrEP failure where in a person may turn seropositive for HIV despite consuming PrEP owing to the phenomenon of drug resistance, which is most commonly precipitated due to frequently or irregularly starting and stopping PrEP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, the method of initiating PrEP in females is different. Females, however, don&#8217;t have the option of starting PrEP on an on-demand basis as there is no research data available, in this regard. Thus, females have only the option of initiating PrEP as daily singular dosage. One pill has to be consumed, at the same time every day, on full stomach, starting from 20 days prior to one&#8217;s date of planned exposure and then continuing this singular daily dosage at the same time, on full stomach, every day, as long as one is sexually active or unless one feels that the high risk factors to contract a potential HIV infection, have come down for oneself. Just like for the men who have sex with men, the reason for having such a regimen in women is that it takes 20 days of daily singular dosage of <a title=\"PrEp Medications\" href=\"https:\/\/drsafehands.com\/hiv-prevention-prep\">PrEP medications<\/a> to reach the bioactive concentration levels in the cervico-vaginal tissue so that if at all there is an entry of HIV during peno-vaginal intercourse, it can be checked by the active levels of PrEP in the cervico-vaginal tissue then and there, itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PrEP has to be taken strictly under medical guidance, after doing the required tests and understanding the risks of taking PrEP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong>&nbsp;This website may contain general information relating to various medical conditions and their treatment.
