Post-exposure prophylaxis, also known as post-exposure prevention (PEP), is any preventive medical treatment started after exposure to a pathogen in order to prevent the infection from occurring.
It should be contrasted with pre-exposure prophylaxis, which is used before the patient has been exposed to the infective agent.
