The first response to potential exposure to HIV
Are you aware that if you are potentially exposed to HIV, the initial action to take is to seek PEP (Post Exposure Prophylaxis) medication to prevent the virus from spreading?
PEP is expected to be administered within a 72-hour window after the probable exposure, as it assists the immune system in combating the virus before it becomes too severe.
To optimize the efficacy of PEP, it is recommended to ingest it daily for 28 days.
It is critical to highlight that PEP is solely for emergency situations and can only be prescribed by licensed healthcare practitioners.
