&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Overview of HIV Post Exposure Prophylaxis (HIV PEP)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/hiv-pep&quot;&gt;HIV Post Exposure Prophylaxis (HIV PEP)&lt;/a&gt; regime is effective&amp;nbsp;in preventing HIV transmission&amp;nbsp;after a high-risk exposure to&amp;nbsp;HIV. It&amp;nbsp;reduces&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;risk of HIV&amp;nbsp;transmission when taken as soon as possible&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;within&amp;nbsp;a 72-hour window.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;The HIV PEP regime is as simple as taking one pill per day for four weeks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;HIV PEP is recommended when:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;There is high-risk sexual exposure, such as:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-leveltext=&quot;-&quot; data-font=&quot;Calibri&quot; data-listid=&quot;2&quot; aria-setsize=&quot;-1&quot; data-aria-posinset=&quot;1&quot; data-aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse and receptive oral intercourse with a person with unclear HIV status.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-leveltext=&quot;-&quot; data-font=&quot;Calibri&quot; data-listid=&quot;1&quot; aria-setsize=&quot;-1&quot; data-aria-posinset=&quot;2&quot; data-aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;You are sexually assaulted.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-leveltext=&quot;-&quot; data-font=&quot;Calibri&quot; data-listid=&quot;3&quot; aria-setsize=&quot;-1&quot; data-aria-posinset=&quot;3&quot; data-aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;You are exposed to contaminated blood or semen, or genital fluids, primarily through open wounds, cuts, sores, and ulcers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-leveltext=&quot;-&quot; data-font=&quot;Calibri&quot; data-listid=&quot;4&quot; aria-setsize=&quot;-1&quot; data-aria-posinset=&quot;4&quot; data-aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;When you are sharing of or exposed to contaminated needles or blades, particularly needle-stick injuries&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-leveltext=&quot;-&quot; data-font=&quot;Calibri&quot; data-listid=&quot;5&quot; aria-setsize=&quot;-1&quot; data-aria-posinset=&quot;5&quot; data-aria-level=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;A condom broke or slipped,&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;suspected&amp;nbsp;someone&amp;nbsp;took&amp;nbsp;out his condom.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;In such situations, HIV PEP is highly recommended and can help to prevent the transmission of HIV and AIDS.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;When Should I Start Using HIV PEP?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;It is more effective in preventing HIV if you start HIV PEP early.&amp;nbsp;The ideal period to start PEP is within 24 hours from exposure. However, HIV PEP has been shown to be effective up to 72 hours post-exposure.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Are There Any Side Effects for HIV PEP?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/PULSExpress&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PULSE Clinic Malaysia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;prescribes the latest HIV PEP medications with minimal side effects and is highly tolerable. Our doctors will evaluate your unique situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment regime for you to choose.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;In general, some people may experience side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, or anorexia. However, the side effects are not severe and not permanent.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;After the medication is stopped or completed, the side effect will cease.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Is HIV Testing Necessary Before PEP?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;An &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.my/hiv-testing&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HIV testing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;is needed before starting your HIV PEP to determine the HIV status.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;HIV PEP doesn&#39;t work for people already living with HIV, and your doctor may prescribe other antiretroviral medications for long-term use.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-ccp-props=&quot;{&amp;quot;201341983&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335559739&amp;quot;:160,&amp;quot;335559740&amp;quot;:259}&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;What to Expect From HIV PEP Consultation?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;During your consultation, the doctor will carefully assess your medical history and your HIV exposure risks.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;You may need to undergo blood tests to examine the health of your kidney and liver.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Depending on the risks, you may be required to take &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.my/std-testing&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;STD &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Testing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Can I Still Have Unprotected Intercourse When I am on HIV PEP?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
