PEP (Post Exposure Prophylaxis)

PEP is a 28 day treatment regimen for people who are HIV-negative but may have had an exposure to HIV through sex, injection drug use, or other exposures. PEP can reduce the chance of becoming HIV-positive.

  • Treatment must start within 72 hours of the exposure so timing is important.
  • PEP candidates must be seen by a provider who can prescribe them PEP medication. They can go to their health care provider, an Urgent Care clinic, local Health Department or Emergency Room.
  • Once a person has completed their 28 day treatment, they should discuss PrEP with their provider.
