1 point

t creates a physical barrier in the bloodstream that prevents HIV particles from entering cells.

It uses antiretroviral medications to block HIV from multiplying and establishing infection after exposure.

It neutralises all HIV particles in the environment before they can enter the body

A client books you for a three-day encounter involving drug use. You dislike daily PrEP and choose Event-Driven PrEP (ED PrEP). What ED PrEP regimen should you follow for this booking?

1 point

Two pills 2-24 hours before the first encounter, then one pill daily during the 3-day booking, and one pill 24 hours after the last encounter.

Two pills at the start of the 3-day booking, and two pills at the end

Two pills 2-24 hours before the first encounter, and then stop, as ED PrEP is not suitable for multi-day encounters

One pill daily for the three days.

Clear selection

You are a married client with kids, who visits male sex workers. You are worried about a condom potentially breaking and the risk of HIV. Your wife, who is very observant, might notice any daily PrEP medication. What is the most discreet and effective PrEP option you could explore to manage your HIV risk?

1 point

Rely solely on condoms, as no other discreet options exist for HIV prevention

Keep a stash of Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) pills at home to take only after a high-risk encounter.

Opt for long-acting injectable PrEP, administered by a healthcare provider every two months, eliminating the need for daily pills at home.

Purchase unverified "generic PrEP" online to avoid a prescription and keep it secret.

Clear selection

A male sex worker on daily PrEP has just had unprotected receptive anal sex with a new client. The client is now highly anxious about their own risk of acquiring HIV and other STIs. What can the sex worker accurately and helpfully suggest to his client?

1 point

"I'm on PrEP, you have zero risk of HIV. Don't worry I'm clean."

"My PrEP protects me from HIV. For your own peace of mind, consider PEP for HIV and Doxy-PEP for bacterial STIs."

"My PrEP means I can't transmit HIV. There is nothing else you can do but wait 3 months and get tested

"PrEP prevents all STIs, so you are completely safe."

Clear selection

Clear selection

You are a male sex worker on a work trip with a client in Thailand. You get drunk and wake up unsure if a condom was used during last night's encounter. You do not take PrEP. Within the critical 72-hour window, what is your most appropriate and practical action to access Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) in a city like Bangkok?

1 point

Wait until you return to home to seek medical attention, as PEP isn't widely available overseas.

Self-diagnose based on potential symptoms and manage with over-the-counter medication

Find a reputable private clinic or hospital known for sexual health services immediately for urgent assessment and PEP initiation.

Rely on traditional remedies or local pharmacies that may sell antibiotics without a prescription.

Clear selection

You and your friend start taking prescribed daily PrEP together. You feel a little nauseous, which is a common initial side effect. However, your friend, after a few days, experiences persistent vomiting, struggling to swallow, and extreme fatigue, along with a general feeling of being unwell. What is the most appropriate and urgent action your friend should take?

1 point

Stop taking PrEP immediately and indefinitely, assuming a severe allergy.

Continue taking PrEP as prescribed, as these symptoms are probably just severe initial side effects that will pass.

Go to emergency department immediately to report the severe symptoms for urgent assessment and advice.

Switch to PrEP On-Demand without medical consultation, hoping it will resolve the issues.

Clear selection

Your friend tells you that PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) and PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) are essentially the same thing because they both use antiretroviral medications to prevent HIV. Is this statement true or false?

1 point

True, they are interchangeable terms for HIV prevention

False, they differ significantly in their timing and purpose, despite using similar medications.

True, but only if you take PrEP in higher doses after exposure

This statement is false. While both PrEP and PEP use antiretroviral medications to prevent HIV, their fundamental difference lies in their timing and purpose:

Clear selection
