Chile: good to know
- PEP in this country. A Santiago public hospital states that Chile's national PEP programme covers only occupational exposures and sexual assault, and tells anyone else who has been exposed to go to an emergency department. Expect to pay at a private one.Published by Hospital Clínico San Borja Arriarán· 19 Sep 2026
- PEP in this country. AHF Chile explains (July 2026) that free PEP in the emergency department of any public hospital is a right only after sexual violence. After consensual sex the route is private: see a doctor, ideally an infectious diseases specialist, get a prescription and buy the 28-day course at a pharmacy, at roughly 80,000 Chilean pesos plus the consultation fee. PEP must start within 72 hours.Community-endorsed AHF Chile· 19 Sep 2026
