PEP & PrEP Services in Lamai Beach

HIV prevention medications protect against HIV infection through two approaches: PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis, emergency HIV prevention) prevents HIV after potential exposure if started within 72 hours, and PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, preventive HIV treatment) prevents HIV before exposure through daily medication. Both are highly effective when used correctly. Our Lamai Beach clinic provides confidential access to both medications following WHO protocols.

Whether you need emergency PEP after exposure or ongoing PrEP for HIV prevention, our clinic on Lamai Beach Road provides professional care with complete discretion.

  • Emergency PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) – Within 72-hour window after exposure

  • Baseline HIV testing (initial screening) – Required before starting PEP or PrEP
  • Follow-up HIV testing (monitoring) – At 6 weeks, 3 months for PEP compliance

  • Exposure risk evaluation (assessment) – Determining if PEP is indicated
  • Adherence counseling (compliance support) – Ensuring proper medication use
  • Side effect management (adverse event care) – Managing medication side effects

Our PEP/PrEP Treatment Protocol

Following WHO guidelines:

1. Exposure Evaluation (risk assessment): For PEP: detailed discussion of exposure type, timing, and HIV risk level. Determination if PEP is indicated and timing allows effectiveness. For PrEP: assessment of ongoing HIV risk factors and appropriateness for preventive therapy.

2. Baseline Testing (HIV screening): Rapid HIV test before starting PEP or PrEP to ensure you’re HIV-negative (treatment doesn’t work if already infected). For PEP, testing done immediately despite time pressure. Additional baseline tests (kidney function, hepatitis B) for PrEP.

3. Medication Initiation (ARV therapy start): For PEP: immediate start of 28-day antiretroviral regimen (typically tenofovir/emtricitabine plus dolutegravir or raltegravir). Must start within 72 hours of exposure – sooner is better. All medications dispensed immediately. For PrEP: prescription for daily tenofovir/emtricitabine (Truvada or generic) with refill coordination.

4. Follow-Up Monitoring (longitudinal care): For PEP: follow-up HIV testing at 6 weeks and 3 months to confirm prevention success. Adherence support to ensure 28-day completion. For PrEP: quarterly follow-up for HIV testing, kidney function monitoring, STI screening, and prescription refills. Coordination with home providers for long-term care after leaving Koh Samui.

Frequently Asked Questions About PEP & PrEP

What’s the difference between PEP and PrEP?

PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is emergency HIV prevention taken after potential exposure. Start within 72 hours (sooner is better), take for 28 days, prevents HIV establishment after single exposure, used in emergencies only. PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is preventive HIV medication taken before exposure. Start before engaging in high-risk activities, take daily long-term, prevents HIV from ongoing exposures, used proactively for ongoing protection. Think of PEP as “morning after pill” for HIV and PrEP as “birth control pill” for HIV. Both use similar antiretroviral medications but different timing and duration. Both are highly effective when used correctly.

How effective is PEP?

PEP reduces HIV transmission risk by over 80% when started within 72 hours and completed properly. Effectiveness depends critically on: starting within 72 hours of exposure (ideally within 24 hours – every hour counts), taking all medications exactly as prescribed for complete 28 days, and starting with negative HIV status. PEP is less effective if: started after 72 hours (may not work at all), doses are missed or taken inconsistently, or you’re already HIV-positive unknowingly. Studies show PEP works better when started within 24 hours versus 48-72 hours. This is why immediate medical attention after potential HIV exposure in Lamai Beach is critical – time is working against you.

Can I get PEP/PrEP as a tourist?

Yes, absolutely. We provide PEP and PrEP to tourists visiting Lamai Beach, Chaweng Beach, and throughout Koh Samui. For PEP, we dispense the full 28-day supply immediately, provide follow-up instructions, and coordinate testing after you leave if needed. For PrEP, we can prescribe for duration of your Thailand stay and coordinate with your home providers for ongoing care. Costs are significantly lower than Western countries – many tourists find it affordable. We provide detailed receipts for insurance reimbursement. Medical tourism for HIV prevention is common and we’re experienced with tourist needs including medication packaging for travel and international coordination.

What are side effects of PEP/PrEP?

Most people tolerate PEP and PrEP well with mild or no side effects. Common side effects include: nausea (usually mild, improves after first week), headache, fatigue, diarrhea, and dizziness. Serious side effects are rare but include kidney problems (monitored with PrEP) and liver issues. Tips for managing side effects: take with food to reduce nausea, stay well-hydrated (especially in Koh Samui heat), take at bedtime if drowsy, use anti-nausea medication if needed, and report concerning symptoms. Don’t stop PEP early due to side effects – 28 days completion is critical. Most side effects resolve within first week as body adjusts. Benefits far outweigh temporary discomfort.
