Post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a treatment that can prevent a person that has been exposed to HIV (e.g. through sex with a person with untreated HIV) from becoming infected with HIV. PEP should be started as soon as possible and must be started within 72 hours of the exposure.
If you think you may need PEP we can offer you a telephone consultation Monday to Friday between 8.30am and 4pm on 01592 64 79 79. When you call please tell the receptionist this is for PEP as we will prioritise your call.
As PEP needs to be started quickly if you need PEP and our advice line is not open then you should contact your nearest Accident and Emergency department who will make an arrangement to see you.
If you want to know more about starting PreP, please phone us on 01592 64 79 79
If you require an appointment or advice on how to pause your PrEP please call the Sexual Health Fife Health Advisers on 01592 72 92 68.
