Best PEP Treatment For HIV

PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) refers to the use of medication to prevent HIV infection following a suspected exposure.

PEP must be started within 72 hours of an HIV infection.

If you think you've recently been exposed to HIV, talk to your health care provider, an emergency department doctor, or an urgent care provider about PEP as soon as possible (within 72 hours).

• during the act of sex (for example, if the condom broke)
• to inject narcotics by sharing needles, syringes, or other injecting equipment
• If you've been sexually attacked, you should get help immediately.

PEP should be started as soon as possible. Every hour is crucial. If PEP is prescribed for you, you must take it every day for 28 days.

PEP stands for Personal Emergency Preparedness.

• PEP is administered to people who have been exposed to HIV.
• PEP is not a replacement for other HIV prevention methods.
• PEP is not recommended for persons who are often exposed to HIV.
• Talk to your health care provider about PrEP if you are at a continuing risk for HIV, such as from recurrent HIV exposures (pre-exposure prophylaxis).

How effective is PEP?

• PEP is safe, although some people may experience side effects like as nausea.
• These adverse effects can almost always be handled and aren't life-threatening.

When I take PEP, what happens next?

After you've completed PEP, you'll need to see your nurse or doctor for follow-up testing. After you've been exposed to HIV for the first time, you'll have another HIV test 4-6 weeks later and then again 3 months later. Your doctor may recommend another HIV test 6 months later, depending on your situation.

It's critical to get these follow-up testing to ensure that PEP was effective. Meanwhile, continue to protect yourself and others from HIV by wearing condoms during sex and avoiding sharing needles or work.
