What is PEP?
Talk right away (within 72 hours) to your health care provider, an emergency room doctor, or an urgent care provider about PEP if you think you’ve recently been exposed to HIV during sex, through sharing needles or other equipment to inject drugs, or if you’ve been sexually assaulted. The sooner you start PEP, the better. Every hour counts. If you’re prescribed PEP, you must take it daily for 28 days.
