Email 391: About PEP

Hi Pozzie,

I was just wondering if RITM (or any other HIV-related institution) is giving out post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for those who people who might have been exposed to HIV within 72 hours. Is there a way that these institutions could give out PEPs (to arrest the spread of virus)? 

Thank you and more power to your blog!

Thanks

Email 392: Exposure and "PLHIV Prescription"


Greetings,

Hope all is well.

I am gay, discreet, and a professional in the field of  education.  
I am an avid reader of your blog and I've been monitoring my  encounters ever since I practiced getting tested every six months at RITM Malate.

I have been an advocate of  safer sex  since I embraced this lifestyle.  Unfortunately, I had a high risk encounter  last June 24, 2013.

Email 97: OFW Nurse Got Needle Pricked

Hi Pozzie,

I accidentally found your blog as I was searching for my queries about AIDS. I think you're a heaven sent to my questions. I'm an OFW  currently working as nurse. I was freaking because accidentally I pricked myself of a needle used for my patient. I don't know my patient's history but I'm paranoid in a way because after a week I had fever. So far that's the only symptom I had.
