PEP is post exposure prophylaxis, that is when a person has been exposed to risk of HIV, they should receive medication to prevent the risk of getting HIV by taking these medications, these medications are given in a pill with 2 medications in it and post exposure prophylaxis should be started within 72 hours of an exposure, it could be that abuse where the person has undergone abuse by force or it could be that you have had an exposure with someone whose status or whose HIV status you are not aware of. In those situations, it is always better to seek help from an HIV specialist and get the sexual abuse immediately as soon as possible within 72 hours. Post exposure prophylaxis is available at all other government centres and also in clinics and hospitals where you have an HIV expert. Pre exposure prophylaxis, that is where the medications to prevent the HIV transmission is given before the person has an exposure where you know the person whom you are having could be HIV positive or you do not know the status of the person with whom you are going to have with and pre exposure prophylaxis could e given in tow manners, which is what is called as episodic and a regular PrEP. Episodic is where you plan to have sex with someone or it could be even a discordant couple where one person is positive and one is negative and you plan and you take the medication 24 hours before and continue for next few days after so that will prevent from having HIV. The other is regular sex and that is advised for people who are prone to a regular sexual activity who don’t plan as to when to have or those who have more that one partner, in these situations , it is always better to have regular PrEP or a pre exposure prophylaxis where it is taken continuously over a longer period or as long as you continue to have and pre exposure prophylaxis is still not under the guidelines of NACO but WHO does recommend for pre exposure prophylaxis. It is available with all the clinics and hospitals where you have the HIV specialist or an expert. So I suggest to please visit the HIV specialist or visit the clinic with HIV care and ask for PEP or PrEP.
