Which can reduce the likelihood of HIV infection but is not 100% effective?

There is some evidence that suggests that providing PEP after a potential exposure to HIV can help reduce a person’s risk of HIV infection. However, we also know that PEP is not 100% effective, meaning that it will not prevent all HIV infections. Hope it helps!!

post-exposure prophylaxis. PEP for short. It involves taking medicine after contact with HIV.

Treatment must begin within 72 hours. PEP is only available from a healthcare provider, emergency room, urgent care clinic, or HIV clinic.

It is not 100% effective. And follow-up

HIV testing is required
