HIV PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis/prevention) treatment can prevent you from getting an HIV infection, and turning HIV positive.

Individuals are eligible for HIV PEP Treatment if all the following criteria are met:

• exposure occurred within the past 72 hours;
• mucous membrane or non-intact skin was significantly exposed to a potentially infectious body fluid;
• the potentially exposed individual is not infected or not known to be infected with HIV;
• the source is HIV+ve or the HIV status is unknown.

For optimal efficacy, antiretroviral therapy should be started as soon as possible, ideally within 1 hour of exposure. So that you can remain HIV negative.

The medications and dosages are the same as those used for lifelong treatment of HIV patients. However, for HIV PEP treatment, it is taken for only a month.

Sexual risk (of STD/HIV/pregnancy), and what you can do before and after exposure.
