PEP
What is PEP?
PEP stands for Post-exposure prophylaxis
This is medication that you can take to reduce the risk of HIV infecting your body AFTER you may have been exposed. If you think you may have been exposed to HIV and might need PEP talk to us urgently.
This medication must be started within 72 hours of a potential exposure. But ideally as soon as possible.
Where can I get PEP?
You can get PEP for free from the NHS at Sexual Health clinics or local A&E departments.
