1.) HIV Testing and HIV Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)
HIV is at the forefront of most people and rightly so, although not for the reason you may think. Most associate HIV with a death sentence, which is not true nowadays. The reason HIV should be tested is that the earlier it is picked up the better the long term outcomes. If an HIV positive person sticks to the treatment regime they can have 40-50 years of good quality life and that is very important.
While no cure exists for HIV if you had an exposure that you believe to be a risk and it occurred less than 72 hours ago you can consider HIV Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) medication.
HIV Post-exposure prophylaxis (or PEP)
Post-exposure prophylaxis, or PEP, is another name for emergency HIV treatment. PEP is not a cure for HIV, it is a form of HIV prevention. It is a short course of antiretroviral drugs that stops exposure to HIV from becoming a life-long infection.
Patients need to undergo emergency treatment within 72 hours of afters HIV exposure.
What HIV PEP drugs do we use?
We use a variety of different Anti-Retro Viral medications in various combinations based on a patient’s specific circumstances.
We do not believe in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.
Although different medicines are used, they all have to be taken for 1 month.
We use PEP Medicines with fewer side effects and better HIV prevention. This is in accordance with International Standards.
