Why do you have to get PEP?
An HIV infection weakens the immune system, increasing susceptibility to infections. Untreated HIV can advance to AIDS, causing severe immune system compromise and additional life-threatening illnesses.
PEP can protect against HIV infection by 80-90% if begun within 72 hours of having unprotected sex. It works by preventing the virus from entering cells, reducing viral load, and boosting immunity.
Immediately, before getting the final call.
- The STI test is important for early detection and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
- Testing allows individuals to know their STI status and seek appropriate medical care if needed.
- Early detection can prevent the spread of infections to others and reduce the risk of complications associated with untreated STIs, such as infertility, chronic pain, and long-term health problems.
- Regular testing is particularly important for sexually active individuals, those with multiple partners, or anyone experiencing symptoms of an STI.
