with regards to PEP Drugs is it necessary to take them if the person tested negative

If the person you had the risk with, has tested HIV negative, then you can stop taking the PEP as there is no longer a risk. If you are unsure that their test was accurate in reflectiing the incubation times for any risks that they might have had, then it is a good idea to continue the PEP and discuss it with the doctor at your next visit.
