PEP Treatment in Jalandhar

PEP For HIV Treatment in Jalandhar

Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) is an emergency HIV prevention treatment. If you might have been recently exposed to HIV, PEP can help stop the virus from establishing infection in your body. PEP consists of a short course of HIV medicines (antiretroviral drugs) that must be started as soon as possible after a potential HIV exposure—preferably within a few hours, and definitely within 72 hours (3 days). The sooner you start, the better your chances of staying HIV-negative.

PEP is not a regular medication or vaccine, but a critical emergency step. Think of it as a seatbelt you must fasten right away after an accident—timing is everything.

PEP vs PrEP: What's the Difference?

Both PEP and PrEP are effective medicines that help prevent HIV infection, but they serve different purposes. PEP is an emergency treatment taken after possible exposure, while PrEP is a preventive medicine taken before exposure to reduce the risk of getting HIV.

How Long Does the PEP Treatment Last?

PEP must be taken for 4 weeks 28 days. It is a combination of three medicines, taken every day, exactly as prescribed by doctors — do not skip or stop early even if you feel fine. Missing doses or not completing the course could reduce its effectiveness. During the course, a doctor will monitor you for any side effects (usually mild and manageable), testing will be repeated at the start, after end of PEP, and several weeks after, to confirm you remain HIV-negative.

What To Do If You Have HIV Symptoms After Exposure?

First, understand: many people don't show symptoms right away after HIV exposure. If you notice fever, body aches, rash, sore throat, or swollen glands a week or two after exposure, or simply suspect a risk, act IMMEDIATELY:

• Contact a doctor or HIV specialist without delay: Timing is crucial for starting PEP.
• Do not try home remedies or use leftover medicines: Only proper medical PEP is validated for HIV prevention.
• Get a baseline HIV test: Your doctor will advise the best test for early detection.
• Follow the doctor's recommendations: Begin PEP if still within the 72-hour window; if outside, further tailored testing/support are required.
• Follow up: Return for scheduled HIV and STI re-testing even if you feel well.

How To Get PEP In Jalandhar

If you think you've been exposed to HIV, there's no need to panic—but it's crucial to act quickly. The first step is to contact Dr. Monga Medi Clinic immediately. You can get immediate help through the online form, WhatsApp, or a direct phone call. Time is of the essence—the sooner you connect with a doctor, the sooner the infection can be prevented through PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis).

When contacting the clinic, share all the details of your exposure—such as when and how the exposure occurred, the type of contact, and whether you experienced any injuries or symptoms. Based on this information, the doctor will assess your situation and schedule an immediate consultation, either online or at the clinic, where you will receive completely confidential and non-judgmental care.

Following this, your risk level will be assessed, and an HIV test will be conducted. Blood samples can be taken at the clinic or through a home collection service for your convenience. After the test, the doctor will prescribe PEP medication, which is a 28-day course. You will receive complete instructions on how to properly take the medication during this time.

Remember that it's crucial to start PEP medication immediately—ideally within a few hours and no later than 72 hours after exposure. Take every dose on time, complete the entire course, and inform the doctor immediately if you experience any side effects.

After completing the treatment, follow-up HIV and STI tests are necessary to ensure your results remain negative and your health is fully restored. At Dr. Monga Medi Clinic, you will receive confidential, sensitive, and prompt medical assistance—when you need it most.
