Learn more about PEP and how the La Fe Care Center can help you get it by contacting us today! PEP is not 100% effective it does not guarantee that someone exposed to HIV will not become infected with HIV. These side effects can be treated and are not life threatening. PEP is safe but may cause side effects like nausea in some people. The provider will determine what treatment is right for you based on how you were exposed to HIV. PEP consists of two to three antiretroviral medications that are prescribed by a medical provider. To be effective, PEP needs to be started as soon as possible, preferably within 36 hours and no later than 72 hours after exposure to HIV. The medication keeps HIV from making copies of itself and spreading through your body. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is the practice of starting a month-long course of anti-HIV medications within 72 hours of possible exposure to the virus to prevent permanent infection. La Fe CARE Center will verify status before treatment.
