United States: good to know
- PEP in this country. San Francisco AIDS Foundation (Magnet at Strut) asks you to call 415-581-1600 before coming for PEP so they can make sure you are seen; if they cannot, they refer you to another clinic. When clinics are closed, they say to go to an emergency room right away. PEP must start within 72 hours.From San Francisco AIDS Foundation’s website· 18 Sep 2026
