What Is PEP?

Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a short course of HIV medicines that are designed to be consumed right after a possible exposure. This aims to prevent the virus from taking hold in the body. For it to be effective, you will need to start it within 3 days of exposure.

Who Should Consider Taking PEP?

PEP can be prescribed to people who are HIV negative or don’t know their HIV status and who:

  • Have been exposed to HIV via sexual intercourse
  • Shared needles
  • Were sexually assaulted
  • Were exposed to HIV at work

How Long Do You Need to Take PEP?

If a medical professional prescribes PEP to you, you’ll need to take these medicines every day for the next 28 days. You might also need to get tested while taking PEP or after the course for confirmation.

Does PEP Cause Side Effects?

PEP is safe. However, the HIV medicines used for PEP can cause some side effects like nausea. The good news is that these side effects aren’t life-threatening and can be treated. If you experience any side effect that bothers you or persists, we recommend seeking advice from a certified medical professional. You will need to tell the doctor all about your medical history and any other medications you take, as PEP medicines can interact with other medicines.
