PrEP or PEP?

What’s the difference?

PrEP stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis

PrEP is the use of antiviral drugs as a strategy for the prevention before exposure to HIV.

PrEP is a protection for people who don’t have HIV but need extra protection against HIV

PEP stands for Post-Exposure Prophylaxis

PEP is the use of antiviral drugs as a strategy for the prevention after exposure to HIV.

PEP is an emergency protection for people who recently had a potential risk of HIV infection

We only provide PrEP for MSM. We do not provide PEP. If you’ve been recently exposed, please go to an emergency clinic!
