Stressed About Missing PrEP Doses

Advice

I’ve been taking daily PrEP for around 2 years now, and usually take my pill at 10PM. On Saturday May 30th, I completely missed my dose. I was staying consistent up until that Thursday when I missed my dose again, though I woke up around 7AM that day, realized I forgot to take it, and took it within the hour since I’ve read that taking your pill within 12 hours after your usual dosing time still counts as a dose for that day.

I hooked up with someone this past Wednesday during the day and it was very spontaneous so we didn’t use a condom, plus he came in me. I thought I cleaned out properly afterwards but his cum was still in me until nighttime. I had went to my doctor the day prior, explained my situation, and they said I should be fine, but my anxiety is making me feel like I’m in danger of getting HIV.

Am I stressing myself out for no reason?
