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?
