The risk of HIV is so low that it is not worth the hassle of undergoing a PEP procedure.

Who shouldn’t take PEP?

PEP isn’t recommended if:

• It’s been longer than 72 hours (three days) since your exposure. PEP isn’t likely to work if you start it too late.
• You take PrEP. You don’t need to take PEP if you’ve already been taking pre-exposure prophylaxis consistently.
• You’re not likely to be infected. Oral sex and exposure to body fluids like spit, sweat and tears are unlikely to transmit HIV.

What happens after PEP treatment?

After PEP treatment, you should get repeat HIV testing at four to six weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks after exposure. If your exposure is from sexual contact, you may also have repeat screening for other sexually transmitted diseases at four to six weeks after exposure. Please follow up with your primary care provider for this testing.
