Does pep prevent HIV infection?

With a combination of three drugs, HIV PEP will almost certainly prevent HIV infection if taken within 48 hours after exposure. However, efficacy will decrease steeply after this time. If taken between 48 and 72 hours after exposure, regardless of the number of drugs, PEP is much less likely to be effective (7, 17 – 20).
