Thanks for getting in touch.

In some countries Atenef, (a generic version of Atripla) will be prescribed for PEP. However, in the UK this isn’t the case as we use other ARVs, please see here: https://i-base.info/guides/testing/pep-pepse-and-prep

    Hi Anons,

    In some countries you might be given Atrozia as PEP. However in the UK you’d be given Truvada and two tablets of raltegravir.

    Hi Collins,

    As with Atenef, Trivenz is a generic version of Atripla. In some countries this may be prescribed for PEP.
