If you know your partner had HIV, or if he was a male, PEP may be wise. And maybe also if your partner is female and at high risk for HIV (e.g., injection
drug user, commercial sex worker, African American, or with other high risk markers). If so, you should promptly seek care from a doctor or clinic with experience in HIV and its prevention, or at a hospital emergency department or urgent care clinic, and follow their advice about PEP.
