A modelling analysis predicting the impact of time taken to initiate PEP was published in a supplement to JIAS.*
The results include using either 2-drug or 3-drug PEP and for continuing PEP for 2 weeks vs 4 weeks.
The paper includes a useful practical table that estimates subsequent PEP efficacy, including 95% confidence intervals. It also shows no impact from continuing PEP out to 7 weeks.
