Who prescribes Pep if a patient does not have HIV?

Emergency medicine physicians are among the most frequent prescribers of PEP, given the need for immediate treatment after exposure. If you work in an ambulatory care practice, ensure that your patients who do not have HIV and report HIV risk factors are aware of PEP and know how to access it after-hours.

How do you prescribe Pep if you have HIV?

Use CDC's comprehensive guidelines for prescribing PEP. PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is the use of antiretroviral medication to prevent HIV in a person without HIV who may have been recently exposed to HIV. Exposure typically occurs through sex or sharing syringes (or other injection equipment) with someone who has or might have HIV.

Can Pep prevent HIV infection?

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.
