Condom Broke - Get HIV PEP, DoxyPEP and Emergency Contraception in Thailand

What to Do After Condom Broke

Condoms are essential for protecting sexual health by preventing both sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancies. While condoms are generally reliable, breakage, slippage, or damage can occasionally occur, increasing the risk of exposure to STIs and unplanned pregnancies.

It's important to understand the potential dangers of condom failures and explore available medical solutions to address them promptly.

One such solution is Emergency PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis), a preventive treatment designed to reduce the risk of HIV and other STDs after potential exposure. This medical strategy plays a vital role in safeguarding sexual health in emergencies.

What is Post-Exposure Prophylaxis for HIV and STDs?

Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a medical treatment used to prevent HIV and certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) after potential exposure to the virus or infection. It involves taking a combination of antiretroviral drugs within a short time after exposure, usually within 72 hours, to reduce the likelihood of infection.

PEP for HIV:

• Purpose: PEP is primarily used to prevent HIV infection after potential exposure, such as unprotected sex, needle sharing, or sexual assault.
• Timing: For maximum effectiveness, PEP should be started as soon as possible—preferably within 2 hours of exposure, but no later than 72 hours.
• Duration: The treatment typically lasts for 28 days.
• Effectiveness: When taken correctly and promptly, PEP can significantly reduce the risk of HIV infection. However, it is not 100% guaranteed.

PEP for STDs:

While PEP is primarily associated with HIV prevention, it may also help in preventing certain other STDs, especially if combined with other preventive measures. However, there are specific treatments available for different STDs, and PEP may not be effective for all of them.

It is crucial to consult a healthcare professional as soon as possible after potential exposure to assess whether PEP is appropriate. Early intervention can greatly increase its chances of success in preventing HIV or certain STDs.

Prevent HIV with Emergency HIV PEP

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 behavior, seeking immediate medical attention is crucial for assessment and potential initiation of PEP treatment.

Preventing Common STI Infections with Doxy-PEP

In addition to HIV, some may face the risk of bacterial STIs like Gonorrhoea, Chlamydia, and Syphilis following condom mishaps. 

DoxyPEP (Doxycycline Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a vital intervention for those who may have been exposed to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). When taken promptly within 24 hours and no later than 72 hours after potential exposure, DoxyPEP, which involves a 200mg dose of doxycycline, can effectively prevent the onset of infections, providing protection and peace of mind.

At PULSE Clinic, we offer DoxyPEP at affordable rates, making it easier and more accessible to safeguard your sexual health.

Preventing Pregnancy with Emergency Contraception

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.

What about other STD infections? PCR 28 Test

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 PCR28 Test. One test you can test for 28 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. 

PCR Multiplex DNA Test for 28 Infections 

Our STD PCR Multiplex test offers advanced technology to detect up to 28 infections, including Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Syphilis, Herpes Simplex, Trichomonas, and Candida strains, all in one test. It can identify infections in various anatomical areas, such as the throat, urethra, anorectal region, vagina, cervix, sperm, and skin lesions. For urethral infections, the Urine PCR is recommended, while the Throat Swab PCR is ideal after oral sex. Anal Swab PCR is advised for unprotected anal sex, and the Vaginal Swab PCR is recommended for vaginal sex, with staff guidance available for all tests.
