Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)
If you are concerned that you may have been exposed to someone who is HIV positive, you may be able to decrease your risk of contracting HIV by taking post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). This medication needs to be started within 72 hours of exposure and is taken for 28 days. If this is a service that you think you may require, please call us and book an urgent PEP appointment.
