An information sheet about PEP for young people.
PEP stands for ‘post-exposure prophylaxis’ and is sometimes called PEPSE (post-exposure prophylaxis following sexual exposure). PEP is a short course of medicine that can stop you from getting HIV after you might have come into contact with it.
This page includes information about how to access PEP as a teenager.
