Tell your healthcare professional if you want to stop taking PrEP.
They can:
- help you stop PrEP safely
- organise any tests you may need
- provide advice on preventing HIV and STIs
You can restart PrEP if your circumstances change in the future.
If you stop PrEP and think you may have been exposed to HIV, you may need to take PEP. Do this as soon as possible but no later than 72 hours after exposure.
