HIV PEP Treatment — Post-Exposure Prophylaxis
PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is emergency HIV prevention medicine taken after a potential HIV exposure. To be effective, it must begin within 72 hours — ideally within 2 hours. Dr. Yuvraj Arora Monga, infectious disease specialist, provides immediate confidential consultation with home medicine delivery.
What is PEP and How Does it Work?
PEP is a combination of antiretroviral medicines taken once or twice daily for 28–30 days after a potential HIV exposure. The medicines prevent HIV from establishing a permanent infection by blocking key steps in the virus's replication cycle. When started promptly and taken consistently, PEP is up to 98% effective at preventing HIV infection — when started early. The 72-hour window is strict: after this point, PEP is no longer recommended as the virus will have already begun establishing infection in the body.
Modern PEP regimens — particularly those based on Dolutegravir or Bictegravir combined with Tenofovir/Emtricitabine — are well tolerated and taken once daily, making adherence significantly easier than older regimens. Most patients complete the 28-day course with minimal disruption to daily life.

PEP Indications — When Should You Start?
PEP is indicated after a significant potential HIV exposure within the last 72 hours. Common indications include: unprotected sexual intercourse with a new or unknown-status partner, condom failure, needle-stick or sharp instrument injury (healthcare workers and others), contact with a person known to be HIV-positive without adequate protection, and other blood-to-blood or sexual mucous membrane exposures.
Not all exposures carry the same transmission risk — a specialist will assess your specific situation. Do not attempt to self-assess risk based on general statistics. If you are uncertain and within 72 hours, consulting a specialist is the right action — Dr. Monga will determine whether PEP is clinically indicated for your specific exposure.
