Whether seeking HIV PEP, Doxy-PEP for STI prevention, or using emergency contraception as soon as possible after condom broke
Condoms are indispensable tools for safeguarding sexual health by preventing both sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and unintended pregnancies.
However, despite their reliability, instances of condom (broke) breakage, breakage, or slippage can occur, exposing individuals to potential risks.
The dangers associated with condom mishaps and explore the medical solutions available to address them effectively.
Let us understand what emergency PEP, or emergency post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is as a preventive treatment strategy for HIV and STDs.

Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a critical intervention offered following potential exposure to some of the most common STDs like HIV, gonorrhoea, chlamydia, and syphilis, and through condom mishaps or other high-risk sexual activities.
Following potential exposure to HIV through condom mishaps or other high-risk sexual activities, HIV Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) offers a critical intervention. Administered within 72 hours of exposure, PEP involves taking antiretroviral medication to reduce the likelihood of HIV transmission. If there's suspicion of HIV exposure due to a condom mishap or risky sexual behaviour, seeking immediate medical attention is crucial for assessment and potential initiation of PEP treatment.
In addition to HIV, individuals may face the risk of bacterial STIs like Gonorrhoea, Chlamydia, and Syphilis following condom mishaps.
Doxy-PEP, a regimen of doxycycline antibiotics, is an effective preventive measure against these infections. To maximize its efficacy, it's essential to initiate Doxy-PEP promptly, preferably within 24 hours and no later than 72 hours post-unprotected sex. DoxyPEP has at least a 90% chance of preventing syphilis and a 60% chance of preventing chlamydia and Gonorrhea.

In addition to STIs, condom mishaps can also lead to unintended pregnancies. Emergency contraception, commonly known as the "morning-after pill" or "Plan B," offers a reliable solution to mitigate the risk of pregnancy post-unprotected sex.
Readily available in PULSE, emergency contraception is most effective when taken soon after intercourse, ideally within 48 to 72 hours. It's crucial to understand that emergency contraception is not an abortion pill and does not terminate an existing pregnancy. Instead, it serves as a preventive measure to reduce the risk of pregnancy in situations such as condom breakage or unprotected intercourse.
Condoms serve as a crucial barrier during sexual encounters, significantly reducing the risk of HIV infection, STIs, and unwanted pregnancies. Yet, when condoms break or slip, this protective barrier is compromised, leaving individuals vulnerable.
If you are worried about other possible infections, speak to our medical provider about the best time to get our 14-PCR Multiplex STD test + Rapid HIV 4th Generation HIV Test. One test can test for 15 kinds of sexually transmitted diseases.
Condom mishaps are unwelcome occurrences, but understanding the associated risks and taking timely action is crucial for safeguarding sexual health. Whether it involves seeking HIV PEP, considering Doxy-PEP for STI prevention, or using emergency contraception to prevent pregnancy, proactive steps are essential.
