&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #993366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you have had unprotected sex, a condom break, or any other possible HIV exposure, don&amp;rsquo;t wait.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br data-start=&quot;8257&quot; data-end=&quot;8260&quot; /&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;8260&quot; data-end=&quot;8352&quot;&gt;Start HIV PEP as soon as possible (ideally within 24 hours, and always within 72 hours).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is HIV PEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HIV Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is a short course of antiretroviral medication that helps prevent HIV infection after recent high-risk exposure. PEP works by stopping the virus from replicating before it becomes permanent in the body. The sooner you start, the more effective it is&amp;mdash;ideally within 24 hours, and no later than 72 hours after exposure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When Should I Start HIV PEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Start &lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;as soon as possible&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;mdash;ideally within 24 hours and no later than 72 hours after potential exposure. PEP taken early can reduce HIV transmission risk by more than 90%. After 72 hours, a doctor will assess whether PEP is still indicated and advise on follow-up HIV testing or PrEP for ongoing protection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; data-start=&quot;1393&quot; data-end=&quot;1434&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1397&quot; data-end=&quot;1434&quot;&gt;When Should You Consider HIV PEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HIV PEP is most commonly recommended after high-risk exposures, such as:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; data-start=&quot;1436&quot; data-end=&quot;1512&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Unprotected anal or vaginal sex with a known HIV-positive partner or with someone from a high-risk group (for example, men who have sex with men, commercial sex workers, or people who inject drugs).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; data-start=&quot;1436&quot; data-end=&quot;1512&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;A condom that broke or slipped during sexual activity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; data-start=&quot;1436&quot; data-end=&quot;1512&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Sexual assault or forced sexual contact.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; data-start=&quot;1436&quot; data-end=&quot;1512&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Needlestick injuries or blood splashes to the eyes, mouth, or open wounds during occupational exposure (for example, healthcare work).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; data-start=&quot;1436&quot; data-end=&quot;1512&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Sharing of contaminated needles or sharp instruments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; data-start=&quot;2038&quot; data-end=&quot;2167&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;In contrast, everyday contact, such as kissing, hugging, or exposure to saliva, sweat, or urine,&amp;nbsp;does not transmit HIV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Estimated Risk of HIV Transmission Per Exposure&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; data-start=&quot;383&quot; data-end=&quot;603&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Understanding the estimated risk of HIV transmission per exposure helps patients and healthcare providers make informed decisions about HIV testing, prevention, and the need for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; data-start=&quot;605&quot; data-end=&quot;912&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Not every exposure carries the same level of risk. The likelihood of acquiring HIV depends on several factors, including the type of sexual activity, presence of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), viral load of the HIV-positive partner, use of condoms, and whether the individual is circumcised.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
