PEP stands for post exposure prophylaxis.  it is hiv medications that if given 72 hours after being exposed to hiv, can greatly reduce your chance of becoming infected.

I thought a PEP test related to cancer not HIV? Used to identify the type of cancer in the body? Obviously PEP is what is given to those who have had a high risk of HIV infection but it is not a test, it's medication.
