When should I take PEP medication?

Open in App

Solution

PEP (Post-exposure prophylaxis):
Post-exposure prophylaxis is also called post-exposure prevention.
PEP treatment stops HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection after the HIV virus has entered a person's body.
PEP medication must be taken within 72 hours of exposure to the virus.
If PEP is taken after 72 hours of exposure to the virus, it is ineffective.
