Yes! HIV can be prevented within the first few days after infection. It is important for anyone knowing they might have been exposed to HIV to seek immediate medical treatment. There is a treatment called Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) that can be started. PEP is essentially high doses of HIV medications. If started within the first 72 hours after exposure it can be effective.

How many milligrams of 2mcg q12h are received in 24 hours?

To calculate the total milligrams received in 24 hours with 2mcg taken every 12 hours, first convert 2mcg to mg: 2mcg = 0.002mg. Next, calculate how many doses are taken in 24 hours: 24 hours / 12 hours = 2 doses. Finally, multiply the dose per administration by the number of doses in 24 hours: 0.002mg/dose x 2 doses = 0.004mg received in 24 hours.
