Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
When taken correctly, PrEP greatly reduces the risk of HIV sexual transmission. If you are HIV negative and at high risk of HIV and don't always use condoms, then PrEP can stop your risk of HIV.
Please speak to our clinic staff about how these risks affect you and if you want to discuss starting PrEP.
PrEP is a very effective method of preventing HIV and can be taken by Men and Women who are at risk of HIV infection.
For more information on how to take and please call us to book a telephone call back and also visit i.base.info, for their PrEP guide.
Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)
If you think you have been at risk of a HIV exposure then you might be eligible for Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP). This is a month-long course of HIV drugs that someone takes very soon after sex which had a risk of HIV transmission. The drugs are the same as those taken by people with HIV. The sooner PEP is started, the more likely it is to work; within 24 hours is best, but no later than 72 hours (3 days). After 72 hours PEP is unlikely to work.
PEP is available from the clinic during our opening times. If we are closed then please don't delay, go to Accident and Emergency for an assessment. The sooner you start taking the medication, the better chance you have of preventing HIV.
