Pre- and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP & PEP)
Century Medical Services now offers Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) options as part of our STD Care Program. These are preventive strategies for individuals who may be at higher risk of HIV and other infections:
– PrEP: Available in daily oral medication form and long-acting injectable options like Apretude (every 2 months) and Yeztugo (every 6 months).
– PEP: A short-term treatment taken within 72 hours after possible exposure to HIV to reduce the risk of infection.
Both options are very effective when used correctly and are ideal for individuals who seek additional protection based on their lifestyle and risk factors. Consult with our providers to determine if PrEP or PEP is the right option for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good candidate for the STD Care Program?
The STD Care Program is ideal for anyone who has been exposed to or is experiencing symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection (STI). This includes individuals with known risk factors, such as unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, or a history of STIs. It is also suitable for individuals seeking regular testing and those who need treatment or follow-up care.
When will I see the results of the STD Care Program?
Treatment results typically begin within a few days to a week, depending on the type of infection being treated. If you’re taking antibiotics or antivirals, you may start to feel better soon after starting the course. However, it’s essential to complete the full treatment regimen as prescribed to ensure the infection is fully addressed.
How long do results last from the STD Care Program?
The duration of the results depends on the specific STI, the effectiveness of the prescribed treatment, and whether reinfection occurs. In most cases, once the infection is treated correctly, you can enjoy lasting results. However, practicing safe sex and attending regular screenings are key to maintaining long-term sexual health.
Is there any downtime or side effects with the STD Care Program?
The STD Care Program typically has no downtime. However, depending on the treatment, some mild side effects, such as nausea or headaches, may occur, particularly if antibiotics or antivirals are used. These side effects are usually temporary and manageable. If you experience severe symptoms or side effects, please contact our office immediately.
What should I do before and after the STD Care Program treatment?
Before treatment, it’s essential to refrain from sexual activity to avoid spreading the infection. After treatment, follow all instructions from your healthcare provider, including completing the full course of medication as directed. It’s also recommended to avoid sexual activity until you have been fully cleared. Regular follow-up visits will help ensure the infection is completely resolved.
What can I expect during the STD Care Program treatment?
You can expect a thorough evaluation from our experienced healthcare professionals during the treatment process. You may undergo testing to identify the specific STI, and your provider will discuss the best treatment options based on your diagnosis. Depending on the infection, treatment may include prescription medications or other therapies. The entire process is designed to be straightforward and focused on restoring your sexual health.
