Sanofi is now running a study with HCQ for mild-to-moderate cases, so we'll hope for the best on that.

As a prophylactic, the woman below caught coronavirus after taking HCQ for 19 years. On twitter, a physician has a coronavirus positive patient who has been taking HCQ for 2 years.

BTW, if one is taking HCQ as a prophylactic, why would one stop taking the drug after two weeks?

Two weeks since WH exposure, immediate risk is past.
