And that common sense did not tell him he was suppose to use condom on this same stranger? A fool defending another fool.
Again, because you have no sense, you did not read the part of his post where he said the condom burst. A fool who calls others foolish, no sense and no self awareness, smh.

And yet u still sounding foolish as always, if he didn't know the person had HIV why is he now running up and down because just to treat that, he knew the lady had HIV but still went ahead to have sex because he feels condom will help him, if not why is he running to to prevent HIV. It's very obvious you are a DULLARD and forever you will remain.

Okay, first of all, you need to understand the difference between pre-exposure prophylaxis and post-exposure prophylaxis. PrEP is what you take when you expect to be exposed to HIV in a few days - it's commonly used by sex workers. PeP is what you take after exposure and PeP medications are simply ARVs. This means the same drugs an infected person takes to suppress HIV are exactly what you should take within the first 72 hours after an exposure, to prevent infection.

To help you understand better, the PeP is simply suppressing HIV in the system of an infected person. When you take it early enough it allows your immune system to wipe off the virus before it can find places to hide and replicate in your body. So you should be good with what you have there.

Still, your best bet is to visit a hospital for direct medical attention. Also, note that the drugs work best the closer you take them to the point of exposure. So even if you have 72 hours, taking it within the first hour is best.
A friend of mind that studied biology in school was telling me that my prep and pep don't work,that it's a scam.

Well, all sorts of people believe all sorts of things but note: studying biology doesn't qualify him to make such statements. The way medicine works in the body falls into the field of knowledge, primarily, of pharmacists, biochemists, and medical doctors. He is not qualified to tell you anything.

That said, the best protection is good behaviour and proper use of condoms in you must knack outside.
