HIV is real, deadly and unimaginable but at the same time, it should never be treated as a death sentence as infected people can still live happily.  If you’re HIV-negative or don’t know your HIV status, and in the last 72 hours you think you may have been exposed to HIV during s*x (for example, if the condom broke), shared needles and works to prepare drugs (for example, cotton, cookers, water), or were s*xually assaulted, talk to your health care provider or an emergency room doctor about PEP right away.   PEP should be used only in emergency situations and must be started within 72 hours after a recent possible exposure to HIV. It is not a substitute for regular use of other proven HIV prevention methods, such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), which means taking HIV medicines daily to lower your chance of getting infected; using condoms the right way every time you have s*x; and using only your own new, sterile needles and works every time you inject.   PEP is effec
