If you may have been exposed to HIV — through unprotected sex, sexual assault, or occupational accidents — post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) can reduce your risk of infection. Timing is critical: PEP must be started within 72 hours of exposure.
What is PEP?
PEP is a 28-day course of antiretroviral medication that prevents HIV from establishing infection in your body. It is intended for emergency situations only. For ongoing HIV prevention, ask about PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis).
When Should You Start PEP?
Start PEP as soon as possible — ideally within a few hours, but no later than 72 hours after potential HIV exposure. Delaying treatment reduces its effectiveness.
