The Concept of PrEP vs PEP
PrEP stands for Pre-exposure Prophylaxis. The treatment is specific for people at a higher risk of contracting HIV. Individuals with HIV-positive partners can also benefit from PrEP. Additionally, people working in HIV units and laboratories can also receive it. The treatment involves the prescription of to ensure that the virus does not proliferate and initiate an infection. Through PrEP, the HIV infection rate can significantly decrease. Also, regular costs and screening can help to lower the chances of infection. The method is not effective against the protection for other STDs. Options include daily pills, 2-1-1 dosing, or injections.
PEP stands for post-exposure prophylaxis. For individuals who think that they have been exposed to HIV for less than 72 hours, this method is effective. Users are prescribed medication that lasts for almost a month.

PEP Options
For emergency HIV prevention after potential exposure, PEP is 99% effective when taken as prescribed. You’ll take a 2-pill and 28-day medication course of:
- Emtricitabine + Truvada® or Descovy® PLUS
- Raltegravir (Isentress®) or Dolutegravir (Tivicay®) or Darunavir/Cobicistat
What is DoxyPEP?
An innovative strategy for STI Prevention, Doxy PrEP or Doxy PEP is a post-exposure prophylaxis taken shortly after potential exposure to STIs. Take 1 doxycycline pill within 72 hours after condomless sex to reduce bacterial STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis).
Doxy PEP is not a replacement for condoms or PrEP—but is a powerful backup for high-risk periods.
Ideal if you:
- Have multiple partners
- Recently had an STI
- Engage in condomless sex
