PrEP and PEP
- PrEP stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. It is a medication routinely taken before potential exposure to HIV to reduce someone’s chances of acquiring it. It is ~99% effective at preventing HIV through sex, when taken as prescribed.
- PEP stands for Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a combination of medications you take to prevent an HIV infection after you’ve been exposed. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a serious illness that can’t be cured. You might be exposed through unprotected sex, needle sharing or an accidental needle stick. HIV exposure is a medical emergency — you must start treatment within 72 hours.
