SERVICE PROVIDER INFORMATION PEP

Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) is a medication regimen that you can take if you believe you have just been exposed to HIV. If you take PEP as directed, it can prevent HIV from infecting your body. PEP must be taken within 72 hours of exposure, but should be taken as soon as possible to maximize the chance it will work.Any healthcare provider can prescribe PEP at their discretion. However, its recommended that you see a provider with whom you feel comfortable discussing topics like sex, sexuality, drug use, needle sharing, and HIV. PEP is an immediate emergency need & good prescribers of it are closed (like Howard Brown), you should visit the nearest emergency room. It has been recommended that a hospital emergency room should always be a last resort.
