How PEP works
PEP is a 28-day course of HIV medicines. Started within 72 hours of exposure, it greatly reduces the chance of infection.
A condom broke, sex without a condom, shared needles or a needle-stick injury. From this moment, the 72-hour clock is running.
Tell us roughly when it happened. The earlier PEP starts, the better it works — ideally within hours.
A private risk assessment with a doctor, a rapid baseline HIV test, and your first dose — all in the same visit.
One daily dose for 28 days. We explain possible side effects and stay reachable if you have questions.
Repeat HIV tests — usually around 6 weeks and 3 months after the exposure — confirm that PEP worked.

Ask on WhatsAppPEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is a short course of HIV medicines taken after a possible exposure to HIV to stop the virus from establishing an infection. The course lasts 28 days and the medicine is taken every day.
As soon as possible — ideally within a few hours, and no later than 72 hours (3 days) after the exposure. The sooner PEP is started, the better it works. After 72 hours PEP is not recommended, but you should still get tested and speak with a doctor.
For example: a condom broke or slipped, you had sex without a condom with someone whose HIV status you don’t know, you shared needles or injecting equipment, you experienced sexual assault, or you had a needle-stick injury. A doctor will assess your risk — if your partner is HIV-positive and has an undetectable viral load on treatment, HIV is not transmitted through sex and PEP may not be needed.
When started quickly and taken every day for the full 28 days, PEP greatly reduces the chance of HIV infection. No method is 100% effective, and missing doses lowers protection, so it is important to finish the course and attend follow-up testing.
Modern PEP medicines are generally well tolerated. Some people have mild nausea, tiredness, headache or an upset stomach in the first days, which usually settles. Tell the doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take so they can check for interactions.
You will have a private consultation about what happened, a rapid baseline HIV test and any other tests the doctor recommends. If PEP is right for you, you take your first dose at the clinic and leave with your medication and a clear follow-up plan.
Follow-up HIV testing confirms that PEP worked. Testing is usually recommended around 4–6 weeks and again about 3 months after the exposure; your doctor will confirm the right schedule for you.
Yes. We make sure you have the medication you need and a written summary of your treatment, so you can complete the course and arrange follow-up testing with a doctor in your home country.
PEP is an emergency treatment taken after a possible exposure. PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is taken before possible exposures by people who may be at ongoing risk. If you have needed PEP more than once, ask us whether PrEP could suit you.
Yes. Your consultation, test results and personal details are kept confidential and are not shared without your consent.
