Time is the absolute most critical clinical factor following any potential exposure to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) involves taking a highly active, emergency course of powerful antiretroviral medicines designed specifically to prevent the virus from taking hold and replicating within the body.
PEP must be initiated within 72 hours of the exposure event—though starting the pharmacological regimen sooner significantly increases its overall preventative effectiveness.
Dr. Farabi provides urgent, immediate clinical evaluations to determine if PEP is medically indicated following high-risk sexual encounters, occupational hazards, or needle-sharing incidents.
We prescribe the comprehensive, 28-day medication regimen required and schedule meticulous, ongoing follow-up serological testing to ensure the virus was successfully intercepted, providing vital clinical peace of mind during highly stressful and frightening situations.
