Does the clinic offer PEP?
At present, the clinic does not administer PEP to patients, and refers them to hospital emergency departments or their doctor for treatment. However, not all physicians in private practice or hospitals have been trained in counselling patients about PEP. Therefore, patients should first be counselled about the pros and cons of treatment to help them decide what course of action to take when they see a doctor. No appointment is required since patients should be counselled ASAP. Ideally someone would start PEP within 24 hours of an exposure.
