'Yes, you heard me right. It’s called HIV Post Exposure Prophylaxis'

A Nigeria medical doctor living and working in the UK, through his Twitter handle @DrOluFunmilayo recently tweeted a thread where he as our 'Our Fav Online Doctor' educated us about a drug course or treatment which can be taken immediately after having an unprotected s3x with a prostitute or a suspected HIV patient so as to prevent us from getting infected. He called it Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)

Read the thread below:

If you just had a very risky unprotected s3x and you don’t want to get HIV, go to a hospital.

PS- It has to be within 72 hours of the s3x.


So What is PEP?


PEP stands for post-exposure prophylaxis. It means the act of taking antiretroviral medicines (ART) after engaging in an activity (like unprotected s3x, sharing needles etc) that can potentially expose a person to HIV.

The aim is to prevent becoming infected.

Who should take PEP?
