&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Frequently asked questions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is PEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is a 28-day course of anti-HIV medicines taken after a possible exposure to HIV to prevent infection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How soon must I start PEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Within 72 hours of exposure. It works best when started within 24 hours, so please do not wait.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The condom broke. Do I need PEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;It depends on your partner&#39;s HIV status and your risk. If your partner has HIV and is not on effective treatment, or if you do not know their status, PEP may be recommended. A doctor will assess you. If your partner has an undetectable viral load, PEP is not usually needed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is PEP 100% effective?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;No. It greatly lowers the chance of HIV infection, but it can fail, especially if it is started late or doses are missed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the side effects of PEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Most people have none or mild ones, such as tiredness, nausea, diarrhoea or headache. These usually settle within days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I drink alcohol or take other drugs while on PEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Please tell your doctor about any medicines, supplements or recreational drugs you take, as some can interact with PEP. Missing doses because of a night out is a common reason PEP fails.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Does PEP protect me from other STIs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;No. PEP only targets HIV. We recommend STI testing with a PCR panel and, where appropriate, treatment for infections such as gonorrhoea, chlamydia and syphilis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do the PCR 14, 28 and 31 tests include HIV?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;No. HIV is tested with blood tests, which we perform during your PEP assessment and follow-up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What happens after I finish PEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;You will have follow-up HIV tests, usually at about 4 to 6 weeks and 3 months after exposure. Your doctor may also discuss PrEP for future protection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
