About Our HIV Prevention Services
PrEP is preventative medication used by people who are HIV-negative but at high risk for being exposed to HIV through sexual contact or injection drug use. Individuals can take PrEP medication ahead of time in order to prevent the virus from establishing an infection.
PEP is antiretroviral medicine that is also used by people who are HIV-negative and can be taken after a single high-risk exposure to HIV infection. PEP must be started as soon as possible to be effective – within 72 hours of a possible exposure – and continued for 4 weeks.
Accessing PrEP or PEP can seem overwhelming. Choice Health Network provides these prevention services for individuals and works hard to make the process as seamless as possible.
PrEP
PEP
PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a 30-day round of medications for those who feel that they may have had exposure to HIV. PEP should be used only in emergency situations and must be started within 72 hours after a possible exposure to HIV. If you think you’ve recently been exposed to HIV during sex or through intravenous drug use, please let us know as soon as possible and we can help you get started on PEP.
