So, how effective is this treatment? In China, post-exposure prevention work has been carried out for over twenty years, with over a thousand cases of post-exposure prevention implemented. So far, there have been no cases of PEP failure, indicating that PEP has good preventive effects.
Regarding PEP, let's emphasize the key points!
1. It must be taken within 72 hours after engaging in high-risk behavior (taking the medicine within 2 hours after exposure is optimal).
2. PEP must be taken regularly for 28 days. Forgetting to take the medication or not wanting to take it due to side effects will reduce the success rate!
3. PEP is not a "regret pill"! The best way to save yourself is always to behave responsibly and avoid risky behaviors!
