Confused over my results

Hie everyone, after my wife tested positive to HIV, I am stressed and confused because of fear on contracting the virus, I tested 3 times with rapid test and my results came negative and out of fear I bought Acriptega (sp) which I took at 4 days after my last exposure and at 11 days after I read about DNR PCR test window period, I went for PCR at 11 days which means I took PEP for 7 days and took a PCR test and it came negative. My question, does PEP really interfere with my PCR results, I was having unprotected sex with my wife for almost 6 months.

    1. Alafia (Peace) I hope everything is going well with you and your wife. Have you considered PrEP? It's a great tool for a negative person who is engaged with a person who is living with HIV. Please let us know how you are doing? Khafre (H-I-V.net Team Member)
