Act Fast. Protect Yourself with PEP
PEP is emergency HIV prevention medicine taken within 72 hours of possible exposure.
PEP is an emergency medication that prevents HIV if taken within 72 hours of exposure.
PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a short course of HIV medicines taken after possible exposure to HIV. It must be started within 72 hours (3 days) of exposure to work. The sooner you start, the better it works.
PEP is not for regular use — it’s for emergencies only.
Think you’ve been exposed? Act now. Don’t wait.
Why PEP matters?
Every year, many people are exposed to HIV through unprotected sex, condom accidents, or needle injuries. PEP gives you a second chance to stay HIV-negative. PEP is only effective if started within 72 hours after exposure — and you must take the full 28-day course.

When Should You Use PEP?
You should consider PEP if you:
- Had unprotected sex with someone who may have HIV.
- Experienced condom breakage or slippage.
- Were sexually assaulted.
- Shared needles or injecting equipment.
- Had an occupational exposure (e.g., needle-stick injury for healthcare workers).
PEP is not needed if you are already on PrEP and taking it consistently.
How to Use PEP
Start as soon as possible (within 72 hours).
Take HIV test before starting.
Take prescribed pills daily for 28 days.
Return for follow-up testing after completing PEP.
Do not skip doses — missing doses reduces protection. Do not stop early — finish all 28 days.
