Israel: good to know
- PEP in this country. The Israel AIDS Task Force says PEP must start as soon as possible and no later than 72 hours after exposure, and that any hospital emergency room can start it 24 hours a day; hospitals with an AIDS centre (Ichilov in Tel Aviv) may be quicker. It says an emergency room visit without a referral or health-fund commitment is charged a fee (it quotes 715 shekels).Community-endorsed Israel AIDS Task Force· 19 Sep 2026
- What visitors pay. The Ministry of Health's Levinsky Clinic says PEP is free for Israeli citizens through their health fund. It says nothing about visitors, so expect to pay for the emergency room visit and the medicine, and check what your travel insurance covers.
Emergency number: 101
