Our Promise to Imo

PEP, Delivered Across Imo

After a possible exposure, the last thing you need is to burn your window going shop to shop hoping for stock. So we flip it around and bring PEP to you, wherever you are in Imo.

PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is a short course of medicine you take after a possible HIV exposure to prevent infection. “Post-exposure” means after contact. “Prophylaxis” (say it pro-fi-LAK-sis) simply means prevention.

We deliver right across Imo State. In the capital, Owerri, that covers Owerri Municipal, Owerri North and Owerri West, taking in Aladinma, Ikenegbu, New Owerri, the World Bank Housing Estate, Egbu, Orji, Akwakuma, Nekede, Umuguma and the busy Douglas Road and Wetheral Road commercial core, along with the FUTO and Imo State University belt. Beyond Owerri, we reach the major towns that anchor the state, including Orlu, Okigwe, Mbaise, Mbaitoli, Oguta and Awo-Omamma. Wherever you are in the state, we confirm your exact drop-off when you order. In Owerri we aim to reach you within hours, and anywhere else in Imo within 24 hours at the latest. When you order we confirm your exact drop-off and timing before anything else. Everything arrives discreetly packaged, with nothing on the outside to announce what’s inside.

If you want the full clinical picture first, our complete guide to PEP in Nigeria covers how it works and what to expect. But if you’re in a hurry, the steps below are all you really need.

Is PEP Right for You?

Who Should Get PEP in Imo?

If you’re in Imo, had a possible HIV exposure within the last 72 hours, and are HIV-negative, PEP may be the right step, which a quick clinical check confirms. These are the most common situations where it applies.

🛡

Sex Without Protection

A condom slipped or broke, or none was used, and you don’t know the other person’s HIV status or know it’s positive.

💉

Shared Needles

Any time needles or syringes are shared, HIV has a direct path to travel through the blood.

🏥

Needlestick at Work

A needlestick from a needle used on a patient with HIV, or one whose status is unknown, means a healthcare worker should be assessed urgently for PEP.

🤝

After Sexual Assault

After a sexual assault there may have been HIV exposure, and PEP should be part of the emergency response. You deserve protection and care.

Your Options in Imo

Where Can You Get PEP in Imo?

Across Owerri and the wider state, Imo has several places to get PEP. Here’s an honest look at each route, including ours, so you can choose what fits your situation.

Fastest & Most Discreet

PEP Access Delivery

Order PEP online in minutes, with our rapid HIV test kit available as an add-on, and we aim to reach you within 24 hours across Imo, with timing confirmed when you order. You’re supported by our clinical team from the very first step through to the end of your course. It’s the best fit when speed, privacy and convenience all matter, which after a possible exposure they usually do.

Federal Teaching Hospital

Federal University Teaching Hospital Owerri

The Federal University Teaching Hospital Owerri (FUTHO), on Orlu Road and formerly the Federal Medical Centre Owerri, is the main federal tertiary hospital in the capital and runs HIV services, so PEP may be available there. As a busy referral hospital, emergency departments can mean long waits, so call ahead where you can.

State Teaching Hospital

Imo State University Teaching Hospital, Orlu

Imo State University Teaching Hospital (IMSUTH) in Orlu is the state teaching hospital and provides HIV care. If you’re toward the Orlu side of the state, it’s a recognised place for HIV services and may offer PEP, though availability and timing differ.

General Hospitals

Government Hospitals & ART Clinics

General hospitals and government ART clinics across Owerri, Orlu, Okigwe and the other major towns may provide PEP, usually at low or no cost through the national program. Stock isn’t guaranteed at every site, so a quick call first saves a wasted trip.

Private Clinics & Pharmacies

Private Healthcare

Private clinics and larger pharmacies, common around Aladinma, Ikenegbu and the Douglas Road area, can sometimes provide PEP, usually faster than a busy public hospital but at a higher cost. Stock varies, so call first.

ART (antiretroviral therapy) is the ongoing treatment that people living with HIV take to stay healthy. The same family of medicines, used as a short 28-day course, is what makes up PEP. Government ART clinics are often where free HIV services in Imo are based.

Getting PEP in Imo Without the Scramble

Knowing that Federal University Teaching Hospital Owerri might offer PEP is only half the answer in Imo. The other half is reaching it in time, with stock confirmed, while the 72-hour clock keeps running. That’s a lot to manage in a rush. Across Imo we aim to deliver PEP within 24 hours, with the exact timing confirmed when you order. It turns a frantic search into a single order, which is what a possible exposure leaves no room for.

Skip the Search. We Come to You.

Wherever you are in Imo, you can order online in minutes or chat to order, and we move PEP to you as fast as we can, typically within 24 hours.

What It Costs

How Much Does PEP Cost in Imo?

It depends on the route you take. Government hospitals taking part in the national program may offer PEP at little or no cost, though availability is not always reliable and waits can be long. Private clinics and pharmacies tend to be quicker but pricier.

It helps to think about the real cost of PEP, not just the price of the medicine. The hours spent tracking down a pharmacy that has it, the travel between facilities, and the time sitting in a queue all add up. After a possible HIV exposure, when the 72-hour window is already running, those delays are the part that costs you most.

With PEP Access, pricing is transparent and covers the full 28-day course plus delivery and clinical support, so there are no surprises. Order on the product page to see current pricing, or message us if you’d rather ask first.

Testing in Imo

When and Where to Test

Testing for HIV the same night usually won’t tell you anything reliable, because of the window period.

The window period is the gap between a possible exposure and the point when a test can reliably detect HIV. Testing too early can give a falsely reassuring result.

If you start PEP, follow-up HIV testing is done with a fourth-generation test at 6 weeks and again at 3 months after the exposure. A negative result at 3 months is conclusive. A medical laboratory scientist processes these tests at any reputable lab or hospital in Imo, and our team will tell you exactly when to test so the result is meaningful. For the underlying clinical guidance, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sets out how PEP and follow-up testing should work.

Imo Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can I get PEP delivered in Imo?

We aim to deliver PEP within hours across Owerri, and within 24 hours at the latest to the towns and communities across the rest of the state. When you order, we confirm your exact drop-off and keep you updated while your medicine is on the way.

Can I get PEP delivered to my area of Imo?

Almost certainly yes. We cover the whole state, including Owerri areas like Aladinma, Ikenegbu, New Owerri, World Bank Housing Estate, Egbu, Orji and Nekede, along with Orlu, Okigwe, Mbaise and Oguta. If you’re unsure about your specific spot, just message us and we’ll confirm straight away.

Do I need an HIV test before starting PEP?

PEP is only for people who are HIV-negative, so a baseline HIV test is required unless you already know your status. That’s why we offer a rapid HIV test kit you can add to your order as a paid add-on, subject to availability, and use at home in minutes. One important point: the 72-hour window comes first, so if anything would delay testing, you start PEP without waiting and test alongside. The rapid kit usually makes that a non-issue, since results come back fast.

Is PEP free in Imo?

It can be. Government hospitals and ART clinics such as those at the Federal University Teaching Hospital Owerri may offer PEP at low or no cost, but availability varies between facilities and waits can be long. Private routes and delivery services like PEP Access charge for the medicine and service, with the trade-off being speed, certainty, and privacy.

Can I get PEP in Imo without going to a hospital?

Yes. PEP Access means you can get PEP without going to a hospital at all. You place an order online or by chat, our team confirms you’re eligible, and we bring the medicine to you discreetly, with a rapid HIV test kit available if you’d like to check your status first. Avoiding a packed emergency department is often the main reason people pick delivery, particularly when time is tight.

Which Imo hospitals offer PEP?

The Federal University Teaching Hospital Owerri on Orlu Road, formerly the Federal Medical Centre, and Imo State University Teaching Hospital in Orlu, along with government ART clinics across the major towns and private clinics around Aladinma and Ikenegbu, provide HIV services and may offer PEP. Availability and timing differ between them, so calling ahead is wise. If you’d rather not navigate that, we can simply deliver to you instead.

What if it’s already been more than 72 hours?

If it’s been more than 72 hours, PEP is no longer recommended as effective prevention, though there’s still action worth taking. Speak to a healthcare professional about HIV testing and your next steps. Should you test negative once the window has passed, PrEP, taken before exposure to prevent HIV, may be the right long-term protection. Reach out and we’ll walk you through it.

Is everything kept private?

Completely. Every conversation is handled with strict confidentiality, and your medicine arrives discreetly packaged with nothing on the outside to reveal what’s inside. We understand the sensitive situations that bring people here, and we treat each one with the respect it deserves.
