Florida is third in the nation for HIV cases. Exposure to HIV is not linear; you may be come exposed through more than one way. Rather sexually assaulted and unsure of your assailant’s status or an unexpected night of consensual sex, having immediate access to PEP on hand can give you a peace of mind and potentially save you from being exposed.

PEP has also proven to be affective in an occupational setting, i.e. – tattoo artist, correctional officers, police officers, and many other at-risk occupations. Having the peace of mind that PEP is already in your possession, in event of an emergency, can be life changing… LITERALLY!

PEP-which stands for post-exposure prophylaxis, is a combination of two medications that can be taken shortly after potential exposure to HIV to reduce the risk of the virus entering your system.

PEP is time sensitive and must be taken within 72 hours of potential exposure to be affective. The sooner you start, the more affective it is, as every hour counts.

PEP is a 28-day cycle taken once or twice a day and must be completed to its entirety.  The medications utilized in PEP are known as, antiretroviral medications (ART), and they function by inhibiting the spread of HIV within the body.

YOU CAN BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR SEXUAL HEALTH. Having PEP in “your pocket”, will ensure that there is no wait in an emergency situation. When used correctly, PEP is over 90% affective.
