Italy: good to know

PEP in this country. Italy's Ministry of Health and national health institute say PEP must start within 48 hours of the exposure, lasts four weeks and is prescribed by a specialist after a risk assessment. The HIV organisation LILA advises going to a specialist HIV centre or straight to a hospital emergency department (Pronto Soccorso). In Naples the Cotugno hospital is the infectious diseases hospital; if in doubt, go to the nearest Pronto Soccorso.
