PEP − Post-Exposure Prophylaxis − is emergency medication for people who are HIV-negative and may have been exposed to HIV. If you are a patient and think you need it, give the doctor a call right away.

If your insurance company is making it impossible to get affordable PEP drugs, i.e. they are refusing to cover, please call the NYC PEP hotline at (844) 3-PEPNYC (844-373-7692). You will be directed to a participating pharmacy that will provide you with free medications immediately (time is of the essence!)
