Post-exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)

图层 4

PEP is a type of antiretroviral drug treatment that given to patients at risk in order to reduce the risk of infection after exposure to HIV. After unprotected intercourse or needlestick accidents, PEP must be taken within 72 hours of exposure, and its effects have been proven to be very effective. The whole course of treatment lasted 28 days. Because PEP can delay viral replication, people who suspect infection and have taken it should be re-tested for HIV after 1, 3 and 6 months.

 

PEP is expensive and may have side effects. Therefore, please consult a medical doctor before using PEP. Due to the limited supply of PEP in Hong Kong, if you need urgent treatment, please contact us by WhatsApp (852) 9228 0344 or email: neo@neohealth.com.hk
