PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is a medication taken after possible exposure to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) to prevent transmission.
Who should take it?
People who have had high-risk sexual contact and are in emergency situations. PEP must be taken within 72 hours of possible exposure to HIV and continued for 28 days.
How do we provide it?
We provide a bottle with 30 pills and people at high risk of having been exposed to HIV take one pill daily.
Your URGENT appointment.
At your urgent appointment you will see a nurse and they will do some rapid tests for HIV, and some other STIs. Afterwards you will see the doctor who will take a medical history and assess whether you are a candidate for the medication. After having consumed a PEP pill for 28 days you will have your second appointment, where you will be tested for HIV again. The doctor will talk to you about your options and if you are appropriate for PrEP you can start your treatment with PrEP.
