Commitment to Inclusive Care

The NYSDOH AIDS Institute Clinical Guidelines Program is deeply concerned by federal actions that marginalize or erase lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ+) people, immigrants, women, and people of color. We stand with these groups. Eliminating or suppressing critical data on health disparities undermines research, public health, and the ability of clinicians to deliver informed, patient-centered care. The program remains unwavering in our commitment to provide evidence-based guidance that supports compassionate and inclusive clinical care and upholds the fundamental dignity of all people.

Updated: PEP to Prevent HIV Infection > Pediatric Care

Updated by contributing author Dr. Jency Daniel, with the Medical Care Criterial Committee, the PEP to Prevent HIV Infection guideline was developed for healthcare practitioners in any medical setting (e.g., emergency department, sexual health clinic, urgent care clinic, inpatient unit primary care practice) who manage the care of individuals who request post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) after a possible exposure to HIV.


Pediatric care updates to this guideline include:


  • New recommendations, discussion, and references added throughout on bictegravir/tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine (BIC/TAF/FTC) as a preferred single-tablet PEP regimen for children and adolescents who weigh ≥14 kg
  • Selecting and Initiating a 28-Day Course of PEP section: Detailed information on dosing of PEP for pediatric patients added in Table 4
  • Additional information on dosing of PEP for pediatric patients included in the Appendix: Dosing of nPEP Medications for Pediatric Patients Who Weigh <40 kg and/or Cannot Swallow Tablets
