Have you had a high risk exposure to someone who you suspect is HIV positive?
In such a situation, post exposure prophylaxis i.e. treatment with HIV drugs for period of 28 days, is now being offered by STIdoctor to decrease or eliminate the risk of you acquiring HIV infection.
Studies of prevention have previously been done following needle stick exposure of health care workers to a HIV infected person’s blood. These studies have shown that initiation of HIV medicines within 72 hours have an effect in preventing the health care worker from catching HIV.
While no studies have been conducted convincingly following sexual exposure, a recent review of all available studies has suggested its value (Bryant, Baxter, Hird. Health Technol Assess, 2009.).
Thus worldwide for the last 5 years, and now in Ireland, many centres are making HIV medicines available to individuals following very high risk exposures (e.g. men who have sex with men, unprotected sex with individuals from endemic countries where HIV is very common, following sexual assault etc). Public programmes are available at St James Hospital, the Mater Hospital, and through the Sexual Assault Treatment Unit (SATU) at the Rotunda among other places.
For those wishing to avail of private and confidential evaluation for such treatment, STIdoctor is now offering such services.
