France: good to know

PEP in this country. In France PEP is called TPE (traitement post-exposition). Lyon's university hospitals say to start it within 24 hours, 48 hours at most, and that it lasts one month. During opening hours go to the CeGIDD at Hôpital Edouard Herriot or Hôpital de la Croix-Rousse, or to the infectious diseases service at Croix-Rousse; outside those hours a hospital emergency department (urgences) can prescribe it, and the CeGIDD reviews you within 24 to 48 hours.
