Hello doctor, I had unprotected sex with a girl. She is known to me, but has had many partners in the past few years. I got scared, went to see a doc and he advised to take viraday for pep for 28 days. It's been 14 days. Can I stop this medicine cause it causes severe dizziness. I am just taking this medicine for caution as I cannot ask the girl directly. Also will there be any long term side effects of viraday. I really want to stop this medicine immediately if possible.

Hello, viraday is for pep against hiv. Since this is an antiviral it can have such side effects. The complete course must be taken for 28 days in order to be fully effective. But I would advise you to first know if your partner is hiv positive. If not then you may stop the medication. It is to be taken only if absolutely necessary.

You must meet a skin & vd specialist. No point in continuing this drug without evidence. Get hiv duo done. I know things look scary right now but it is best if you go to the specialist.
