Belgian HIV Post Exposure Profylaxis Surveillance

Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a short-term antiretroviral treatment to reduce the risk of HIV infection in a person who may have been exposed to HIV. PEP can be prescribed in cases of occupational exposure (prick accident), as well as in cases of exposure through unprotected sex or sharing needles (injecting drug users). PEP can be obtained in a hospital with an HIV Reference Centre. The PEP surveillance is based on the registration by HIV Reference Centres of the PEP treatments eligible for reimbursement.
