If a person is not taking PrEP but presents within 72 hours of a potential HIV exposure, they should be assessed for non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) as a matter of urgency and should be offered nPEP immediately according to current nPEP guidelines if appropriate if HIV acquisition risk is likely to continue into the future, PrEP should be offered.
