PEPline: The National Clinicians' Post-Exposure Prophylaxis Hotline

Phone: 1-888-448-4911

Hours: 24 hours / 7 days a week

Exposure to blood-borne pathogens can present serious risks to health care providers. Prompt post-exposure treatment for HIV and hepatitis B virus can be effective, but because each exposure case is unique, determining who should receive prophylaxis and which drugs are most appropriate is not always easy.

The National Clinicians' Post-Exposure Prophylaxis Hotline (PEPline) offers treating clinicians up-to-the-minute advice on managing occupational exposures (i. e., needlesticks, splashes, etc.) to HIV, hepatitis and other blood-borne pathogens.

PEPline clinicians will respond to your call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
