PEP is a course of HIV medication that you take if you have been at risk of HIV infection within 72 hours (three days). It may prevent you from becoming infected with HIV.
The best place to get PEP is a sexual health clinic. If you need PEP over the weekend or outside office hours, when clinics may be closed, the best place to go to is an accident and emergency department.
If you are unsure about accessing PEP, you can show a doctor or nurse at a sexual health clinic/accident and emergency department this handy discreet card on how to request PEP clearly
