Finland: good to know
- PEP in this country. Hivpoint says that after a high-risk exposure you should contact a health centre or an emergency clinic, and that PEP must start within 72 hours, the sooner the better. Helsinki University Hospital's STI clinic assesses PEP without a referral in office hours and points to the Medical Helpline 116 117 for emergencies.Community-endorsed Hivpoint· 19 Sep 2026
