Can a person on PEP test positive for HIV?

Yes, if post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is not started within 72 hours of exposure or taken improperly, HIV transmission may occur, leading to a positive test result. Regular testing during and after PEP ensures effectiveness and identifies any breakthrough infections.
