PEP is medication that is used to help stop the
infection and
transmission of AIDS or HIV within a 72 hour
window period of coming into contact with AIDS or HIV. See One night stands.
PEP is a month-long course of drugs that, if taken within 72 hours of the HIV virus entering the body, can prevent a person becoming infected with HIV. The PEP drugs are the same drugs that people who have the HIV virus use to reduce its impact on the body.
PEP is short for Post Exposure Prophylaxis.
Post = after
Exposure = a situation where HIV enters someone's body (eg: during unprotected fucking or by sharing needles etc)
Prophylaxis = treatment for disease
I was totally wasted and high on drugs
the other night and had
unprotected sex with a couple of guys from the club.
I better get down to the clinic and go on PEP
just in case I caught The Big A (AIDS or HIV).
Better to be safe than sorry?
