Welcome to the online home of BLAGY, Bradford's youth group for LGBTQ youth. We meet once a week on Wednesdays from 6pm-8pm to have fun and meet new people.

Meetings are varied, fun and informal with trained youth workers on hand who can offer support, a listening ear, give you advice or point you in the right direction.

PEP

Published by tporteus on April 12th, 2009

If you think you’ve been exposed to HIV, PEP can prevent you becoming infected – if your fast enough.

PEP (Post Exposure Prophylaxis) is a course of anti-HIV medications
that you take over 4 weeks that can prevent you becoming infected with HIV.

The site effects can be nasty and you certainly won't feel pleasnt during the treatment but if there is a chance it can stop you becoming HIV postive its worth it. You can get PEP at a sexual health clinic or at a A&E department.

If you think you need it, Get It Fast! The sooner you take it the more likely it is to work. The most you should wait is 72 hours (3 Days).

Remember - PEP is NOT a substitute for safe sex – using condoms is always the best protection.

You can get more infromation and details about PEP at Mesmac's PEP Website.
