PEP,
or post-exposure prophylaxis, is a life-saving HIV medication. You might be able
to obtain PEP if you suspect you've been exposed to HIV in the past 72 hours.
Caution - It's a therapeutic regimen that lasts for 28 days.
What is PEP?
PEP
is a type of emergency medication used to prevent HIV infection following
probable HIV exposure.
PEP
is not the same as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Prior to exposure, PrEP is
taken. PEP is given after exposure and is not meant to be used for a long time.
Who can take PEP?
Anyone
who has been exposed to HIV through intercourse, sharing needles, or work.
It is not for HIV-positive persons.
When do you take PEP?
If you believe you may have
been exposed to HIV, visit a
healthcare provider straight away to inquire about PEP. You
must start PEP within 72 hours of thinking you've been exposed to HIV. It works
best if you take it within 24 hours of receiving it. PEP cannot be used after
72 hours of exposure.
