PEP Screening

Service Description

Here are the key benefits and features of PEP: Emergency HIV Prevention: PEP is designed for use after a potential exposure to HIV, such as unprotected sex, needle-sharing, or occupational exposure (e.g., healthcare workers). It is a critical option for preventing HIV after the fact. High Effectiveness When Timely: PEP is highly effective at preventing HIV infection when started within 72 hours of exposure. The sooner it’s taken, the better it works, ideally within the first 24 hours. Short-Term Treatment: PEP involves taking a combination of HIV medications for 28 days. This short-term treatment can significantly reduce the risk of the virus establishing an infection in the body. Comprehensive Support and Care: Starting PEP involves a healthcare consultation, during which individuals receive a comprehensive risk assessment, testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and counseling on preventive measures. Peace of Mind After Exposure: For those who have had a potential exposure to HIV, PEP provides an important safety net, reducing anxiety and the potential long-term consequences of exposure. Broader Impact on Public Health: By preventing new HIV infections after exposure, PEP plays a crucial role in public health strategies aimed at reducing the spread of HIV in communities. Safe and Well-Tolerated: PEP is generally safe and well-tolerated. While side effects can occur, they are typically mild and temporary. Healthcare providers monitor patients for any adverse reactions throughout the treatment course. Overall, PEP is a vital tool in the fight against HIV, offering a second chance to prevent infection after potential exposure. It complements other HIV prevention strategies, providing an essential safety measure in high-risk situations.
