PEP, or post-exposure prophylaxis, is a medical intervention designed to prevent HIV infection after exposure to the virus. Prophylaxis for HIV is only available with a prescription. PEP is strongly recommended for anyone who has had unprotected receptive vaginal or anal intercourse or who has shared an IV needle with an HIV-infected partner or with a partner whose HIV status is unknown. PEP is rarely recommended for the insertive (“top”) partner or for oral sex. PEP is usually taken twice a day for 28 days, and includes laboratory tests and follow-up visits at 2 weeks, 4-6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks post-exposure. The use of condoms is recommended until the final follow-up visit (six months post-exposure). PEP is not guaranteed to work and you could put your partner(s) at risk of contracting HIV. PEP is not a substitute for safer sex. For more information on PEP, call (713) 814 3300 Now Available! DoxyPEP to Prevent Bacterial STIs after Potential Exposure DoxyPEP, or Doxycycline Post-Exposure Prophylaxis, is an antibiotic treatment of 200 mg doxycycline that may help protect you from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis after unprotected sex, reducing your risk by about 66%. It may be a good option if you’ve had one or more STIs in the last 12 months. DoxyPEP is taken within 24, but no more than 72 hours after exposure. DoxyPEP only works on bacteria and doesn’t protect against viral infections such as Hep C, HIV, Monkeypox, and others. It’s important to get tested for STIs every 3 months and whenever you have symptoms. Having an active STI can make you more susceptible to HIV. And if you are living with HIV, continue to take your medications and see your provider regularly. For more information on DoxyPEP, call the numbers below or visit Legacy Gulfton Dashwood, Legacy Montrose, or Wellness Bar by Legacy.
