PEP is a preventive treatment and does not cause symptoms. However, if PEP is not initiated promptly after potential HIV exposure, an individual may develop acute HIV infection. Symptoms typically appear 2 to 4 weeks post-exposure and can include:
These symptoms are often nonspecific and can resemble other viral infections. Early identification and treatment are vital to prevent the progression of HIV.
Diagnosing the need for PEP involves several steps:
Post-exposure prophylaxis consists of a 28-day course of antiretroviral therapy (ART), recommended by the CDC. The most effective results come from starting treatment as soon as possible after exposure.
Standard regimen
The preferred regimen includes:
These medications are selected for their high efficacy and tolerability. The choice of regimen may depend on potential drug interactions and individual health needs.
Alternative treatment options
If a person can’t tolerate the preferred regimen or has pre-existing health conditions, alternative combinations of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) may be used.
Considerations
PEP requires prescription-only medications. These antiretrovirals stop HIV from replicating in the body. Below are the common medications used:
1. Truvada (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil umarate)
2. Isentress (raltegravir)
3. Tivicay (dolutegravir)
It’s essential to take these medications exactly as prescribed. Skipping doses may reduce effectiveness.
