    Potential HIV Exposure?Start Emergency PEP Within 72 Hours

    PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is a 28-day medication regimen that can prevent HIV infection after a potential exposure. Treatment must be started within 72 hours of exposure. If you think you may have been exposed to HIV, contact Dr. Wand immediately for a confidential evaluation with an HIV specialist.

    PEP is a one-time prescription, but it shouldn't be a one-time visit. Effective HIV prevention requires thorough evaluation, immediate treatment, and follow-up testing at 4 and 12 weeks. Your consultation includes all recommended follow-up visits.

    Text messages and standard phone calls are not guaranteed to be HIPAA-secure. By contacting Wand Health by text, you acknowledge and accept these limitations. Please limit your initial message to a brief description of the potential HIV exposure and when it occurred. If you are approaching the 72-hour treatment window and have not heard back, seek immediate care at an urgent care center or emergency department.

    The 72-Hour Window Matters

    PEP must be started within 72 hours of a potential HIV exposure. If treatment is not started within this window, PEP is generally no longer recommended.

    Potential exposures may include:

    • Condom failure during sex
    • Unprotected sexual exposure
    • Sexual assault
    • Shared needles or injection equipment
    • Needlestick injuries

    If you think you may have been exposed to HIV, do not wait to seek evaluation.

    IMPORTANT:

    If you are approaching the end of the 72-hour window and cannot reach Wand Health promptly, go immediately to an urgent care center or emergency department.
