The only experience to date on PEP is from San Francisco, through a project involving the University of California Center for AIDS Prevention and the San Francisco Department of Health. Some private physicians provide PEP out of their offices to known patients. Others who are not convinced of the efficacy of the treatment or are concerned regarding the evolution of resistant strains are refraining from introducing PEP until a standard is set.
