Click on the HIV Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) leaflet if you think you might have been at risk.

 

What is PEP?

  • PEP may reduce your risk of HIV infection after you have been exposed to the virus
  • PEP is a four week course of medication which is effective against HIV
  • It needs to be started as soon as you have been exposed to the virus and always within 72 hours of exposure
  • The course of treatment must be finished for it to have the best chance of working.
