Treatment should be started promptly, preferably within the first several hours after an exposure. It should be administered within 48 hours of a high-risk exposure (not to exceed 72 hours). After 72 hours PEP is considerably less effective in preventing HIV infection. The sooner PEP is administered, the more effective it is. PEP is only recommended for high risk exposures such as: Unprotected vaginal or anal sex with known (or likely) HIV positive partner Injection drug use needle exposure Needlestick or other puncture/cut from a sharp Sexual assault survivor Non-intact skin (open cut or wound) or mucus membrane (eyes, nose, mouth, etc) contact with blood All ACTNow centers listed above can provide post-exposure prophylaxis to prevent HIV, in addition to most hospital emergency rooms. For clinical consultation regarding administering PEP, clinicians should call: National Clinician s PEPline: Perinatal HIV Provider Information Line Brigham and Women s Hospital Page 3 of 12
