Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a preventive strategy for individuals at high risk of HIV infection, involving the daily use of antiretroviral medication to reduce the likelihood of acquiring the virus. In contrast, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is an emergency treatment initiated within 72 hours after potential HIV exposure, typically involving a 28-day course of antiretroviral drugs to prevent infection.
