Recommendations
- Start post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) as soon as possible after a known or possible HIV exposure (occupational or non-occupational sexual and injection exposures)
- These resources provide step-by-step instructions for the medical care of persons following possible sexual HIV exposure
- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) alerted the public on 5/18/18 that cases of neural tube birth defects have been reported in babies born to women with HIV who were treated with dolutegravir prior to conception. Providers may call the PEPline at (888) 448-4911 if they have questions or need additional support.
