A member asked:
Can haart be used prophylactically as opposed to curative or treatment in case the person is in the window period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This is called post exposure prophylaxis. If you think you may have been exposed to hiv, you should see your doctor, go to an urgent care clinic or er, or see a specialist to determine your risk and whether or not you should use post exposure prophylaxis.
