Our PEP/PrEP Protocol
Professional HIV prevention care:
1. Urgent Risk Assessment: For PEP: immediate evaluation of exposure type, timing, and HIV transmission risk. For PrEP: discussion of ongoing risk factors and prevention needs.
2. HIV Testing: Baseline HIV test before starting PEP or PrEP to confirm you’re HIV-negative. Rapid testing available for immediate results when needed for PEP initiation.
3. Medication Initiation: PEP must start within 72 hours of exposure (ideally within 24 hours). We provide the full 28-day course immediately. PrEP requires daily medication and we can provide initial prescriptions or refills.
4. Follow-Up Care: PEP requires follow-up HIV testing at 4-6 weeks and 3 months. PrEP requires monitoring every 3 months. We coordinate ongoing care and can refer to specialists for long-term management. For comprehensive sexual health, we also provide HIV testing services.

Frequently Asked Questions About PEP/PrEP
What’s the difference between PEP and PrEP?
PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is emergency HIV prevention taken AFTER potential exposure. It’s a 28-day course of medications that must start within 72 hours (ideally 24 hours) of exposure. PEP is for emergencies like condom breaks, sexual assault, or occupational exposures. PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is daily medication taken BEFORE potential exposure for ongoing HIV prevention. It’s for people at higher risk who want continuous protection. PrEP is 99% effective when taken daily. Think of PEP as an emergency contraceptive and PrEP as birth control pills for HIV prevention.
How effective is PEP at preventing HIV?
PEP is highly effective (over 80%) when started within 72 hours of exposure and taken consistently for the full 28 days. Effectiveness is highest when started within 24 hours – every hour counts. The medication works by preventing HIV from establishing infection in your body. You must take all doses as prescribed even if you experience side effects. Missing doses significantly reduces effectiveness. PEP doesn’t guarantee 100% protection but dramatically reduces your risk. Follow-up HIV testing at 3 months confirms whether prevention was successful.
What are the side effects of PEP and PrEP?
Common side effects include nausea, fatigue, headache, and diarrhea, typically mild and improving after the first week. PEP side effects often resolve once the 28-day course is complete. PrEP is generally well-tolerated with most people experiencing no side effects. Rarely, PEP/PrEP can affect kidney or liver function, which is why monitoring is important. Most side effects are manageable and don’t require stopping medication. The benefits of HIV prevention far outweigh temporary discomfort. Our doctors can prescribe medications to manage side effects and monitor for any serious reactions.
