Prevention & Emergency

Understanding the difference between PrEP and PEP.

PrEP (Pre-Exposure)

Before Exposure

PrEP is a daily pill for people who do not have HIV but who are at risk of getting it. When taken as prescribed, PrEP is about 99% effective.

  • 💊 Taken daily (ongoing)
  • 🛡️ Builds protection over time
  • 🩺 Requires prescription

PEP (Post-Exposure)

After Exposure

PEP is medicine taken to prevent HIV after a possible exposure. It must be started within 72 hours (3 days) to be effective.

  • 🚨 Emergency use only
  • ⏱️ Must start within 72 hours
  • 💊 Taken for 28 days

Overcoming the Fear: You Are Not Alone

"HIV Anxiety" is real. The stress of not knowing can cause physical symptoms that mimic the virus itself.

After a potential exposure, it is common to scrutinize every bodily sensation. However, extreme stress and anxiety can cause physical symptoms that mimic acute HIV infection, such as:

  • Fatigue and exhaustion
  • Loss of appetite
  • Night sweats (from stress)
  • Headaches

This is a psychological loop called psychosomatic response. The only way to break this loop is not by Googling symptoms, but by getting a scientific test result.

Searching for symptoms online creates a Confirmation Bias. If you look for "HIV rash," you will find pictures that look like your skin. HIV symptoms are non-specific and resemble the common flu.

Dr. Google cannot diagnose you. Spending hours on forums reading other people's horror stories will only spike your cortisol levels and weaken your immune system. The only cure for the "fear of the unknown" is certainty.

HIV is actually not as easily transmitted as most people believe. It requires specific fluids to enter the bloodstream directly. While any unprotected sex carries risk, a single encounter does not guarantee infection.

However, relying on probability is not peace of mind. Taking a test allows you to close the chapter and move on with your life, or get immediate treatment to live a healthy life.

  1. Breathe. One mistake does not define your life.
  2. Wait the Window Period. Testing too early (e.g., day 3) causes false negatives. Wait at least 23-90 days depending on the test type.
  3. Order a Home Test. It avoids the awkwardness of a clinic.
  4. Trust the Result. If it's negative after the window period, accept it and let go of the fear.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I get tested?

According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 should get tested for HIV at least once as part of routine health care. However, you should get tested more frequently (e.g., once a year) if you have higher risk factors.

What is the "Window Period"?

No HIV test can detect HIV immediately after infection. If you were exposed very recently (e.g., last night), a home test might not detect it yet. The window period for most home antibody tests is 23 to 90 days after exposure. If you think you were exposed within the last 72 hours, consult a doctor immediately about PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis).

Can alcohol or medication affect the result?

No. Alcohol, recreational drugs, and most medications (including antibiotics or pain relievers) do not affect the results of an HIV antibody test. You do not need to fast before taking the test.

What if the test line is very faint?

If you see a line next to the "C" (Control) area, the test is working. If you see ANY line next to the "T" (Test) area, no matter how faint, it is considered a Preliminary Positive. You should visit a healthcare provider for a follow-up lab test to confirm.
