After the virus has entered a person's
body, PEP is a medication that can end the infection. Within 72 hours after
exposure, it must be taken.
What is PEP
PEP (also known
as PEPSE) is a combination of HIV
medications that can prevent the infection from taking hold. If you've been at
danger of HIV transmission,
you can use it after the occurrence.
PEP must be taken
within 72 hours (three days) to be effective, and ideally within 24 hours.
PEP is not a
‘morning after pill' for HIV,
and its effectiveness is not guaranteed. It's intended to be used as a last
resort in the event that a condom fails during intercourse. PEP does not
protect you against other sexually transmitted illnesses or unintended
pregnancy.
How to take
PEP
PEP must be
taken exactly as
prescribed for a total of 28 days.
·
If
you miss a dosage or don't finish the entire month, it's less likely to work.
·
If
you miss a dosage, do not duplicate it.
·
If
you forget about a dose and realise
it within 24 hours, take it as soon as you remember.
·
If
you don't take PEP for more than 48 hours, it will be stopped.
In the first few
days, PEP side effects
are likely to be minor, such as nausea, headaches, or sleepiness.
While taking
PEP, do not use recreational drugs because there may be harmful interactions.
You can still
take PEP if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
Where to get
PEP
A sexual health
or HIV clinic is the best place
to acquire PEP. If you require PEP on a weekend or
after hours, when clinics are frequently closed, the best place to go is an
Accident and Emergency room.
