Yes! HIV can be prevented within the first few days after infection. It is important for anyone knowing they might have been exposed to HIV to seek immediate medical treatment. There is a treatment called Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) that can be started. PEP is essentially high doses of HIV medications. If started within the first 72 hours after exposure it can be effective.
