PEP : Post-Exposure Prophylaxis, and it’s the use of anti-HIV medication that keeps HIV negative people from becoming infected. While PrEP unfortunately is not yet approved by the PBS, it has been shown to be safe and effective. A single pill taken once daily, it is highly effective against HIV when taken every day. The medication interferes with HIV’s ability to copy itself in your body after you’ve been exposed. This prevents it from establishing an infection and making you sick.
​
Effects from taking PrEP?
Your doctor will check your liver and kidney function as well as a HIV/STI screening every three months to make sure you're ok. It's a normal part of getting your updated script each time. If you are concerned about any effect from taking PrEP then chat with your doctor.
PrEP : Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis
If you have had a high risk exposure to HIV in the last 72 hours. You are a potential candidate for PEP. Factors that can increase the risk of HIV infection and you are a potential candidate for PEP due to:
-
The partner is known to be HIV positive AND is not on treatment.
-
Anal sex with penetration without condom
-
Vaginal sex without condom
-
Condom break
-
Presence of blood
-
Presence of cuts or ulcers
-
You are not circumcised
-
You have been exposed to potentially HIV infected body fluids
-
Your exposure was less then 72 hours ago
-
Partner of unknown HIV status who belong to higher risk HIV group (e.g. MSM or from africa or S.E.Asia)
-
They penetrated you (Their penis, your arse) AND you don't know for sure whether they have HIV or not.
How does PEP work ?
Once you are exposed to HIV, it take less than a week for the virus to establish itself within your body. Once it is established you will have HIV for the rest of your life. However, if you begin taking PEP in time, the anti-HIV drugs will prevent the HIV (that's already in your body) from reproducing and it DIES out before it has a chance to multiply.
STD : Sexually Transmitted Disease, are infections that are passed from one person to another during vaginal, anal, and oral sex.
