PEP stands for
post-exposure prophylaxis – in other words it is
a form of protection (against HIV) that you can
take after you have taken a risk or had a condom
break on you. PEP is a course of HIV medication
which you can take if you have been at risk of
HIV infection. The course of HIV medication
lasts 28 days and, if you start taking it within
72 hours of putting yourself at risk, it may be
able to prevent you from becoming infected with
HIV. You can
self assess
your risk of maybe requiring PEP. |
