About this test

PEP is a 28-day course of HIV medication started after a possible exposure, to stop an infection taking hold. It has a hard deadline: it must begin within 72 hours of the exposure, and the sooner within that window it starts, the better it works. After 72 hours it is no longer offered, because it no longer does what it is for. That deadline is the entire reason this page is short — if you think this applies to you, call the clinic now and read the rest afterwards.

Who should get this test

  • Anyone who has had condomless sex with someone whose HIV status they do not know
  • Anyone whose condom broke or slipped with a partner living with HIV who is not virally suppressed
  • Anyone who has shared injecting equipment
  • Anyone who has been sexually assaulted — you do not need to have decided anything else to start PEP
  • Healthcare workers after a needlestick or similar injury

When to get tested

  • Within 72 hours of the exposure, and as close to it as you can manage. This is the whole of the advice.
  • A baseline HIV test is done before starting — PEP is for people who do not already have HIV.
  • Follow-up testing is scheduled after the course finishes. The doctor sets the intervals.

Preparation

  • Do not wait for an appointment slot. Call, or come in — this is the one service where walking in is the right move.
  • Bring anything you know about the exposure: when it happened, and what you know of the other person's status or treatment.
  • Expect a blood draw before you start, and expect to be here around 45 minutes.

AW

Dr. Anucha Wattanakul

Medical Director · HIV & Sexual Health

Anucha has spent most of his career in HIV medicine, first in the public hospital system and then in community clinics across Bangkok, where he ran a PrEP programme for six years. He set this clinic up around a single observation from that work: people do not avoid testing because they do not understand the medicine, they avoid it because of the waiting room. He sees PrEP and PEP patients and leads the clinic's clinical governance.

Patient reviews

What patients say

I had put this off for nearly two years, mostly because of the idea of sitting in a waiting room where everyone could guess why I was there. It is a normal reception with normal people in it. Booking took a minute, nobody asked for ID, and the doctor read the result with me himself instead of handing me an envelope. Half an hour, start to finish.”
K. T. · Rapid HIV test
I came in with a question I had been too embarrassed to ask anywhere else, and left with an answer and no lecture attached. What I noticed most was that the doctor told me which test I did not need. I had expected to be sold the expensive one.”
ป. ส. · Sexual health consultation
I called on a Sunday about PEP and was told to come straight in rather than wait for a slot. The clock mattered and they treated it that way. Everything since — the follow-up testing, the switch onto PrEP afterwards — has been handled by the same two people, so I have never had to explain the story twice.”
M. R. · PEP, then PrEP
