If you decide you want to stop taking PrEP altogether, it is best to discuss this with your healthcare provider.
They can:
- make sure you stop PrEP safely
- organise any tests you may need
- provide advice on future HIV and STI prevention
You can restart PrEP if your circumstances change in the future
If you have stopped PrEP and think you may have been exposed to HIV, you may need to take PEP. This should be as soon as possible but no later than 72 hours after the risk.
