PEP must be started within 72 hours (3 days) after a possible exposure to HIV. The sooner PEP is started after a possible HIV exposure, the better. Every hour counts. According to research, PEP will most likely not prevent HIV infection if it is started more than 72 hours after a person is exposed to HIV.
