Act Fast: Effective HIV Prevention with Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)
PEP Services
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) is a course of HIV medication taken to prevent infection after possible exposure to the virus. PEP is most effective when started as soon as possible, ideally within 2 hours, but it can still be effective if started within 72 hours of exposure. PEP treatment involves taking antiretroviral medications daily for 28 days to help prevent the virus from taking hold in your body.
