Switzerland: good to know
- PEP in this country. The Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) say PEP should start within 48 hours. On weekdays call the HUG HIV consultation's on-call doctor on +41 79 553 46 56; in the evening from 18:00, at night, at weekends and on public holidays the HUG adult emergency department (Rue Gabrielle-Perret-Gentil 2, open around the clock) and its gynaecology-obstetrics emergencies are the only emergency services in the Geneva network that prescribe PEP. Checkpoint Genève also gives PEP during its consultation hours and sends you to the nearest hospital when it is closed.Published by Hôpitaux universitaires de Genève· 22 Sep 2026
