Our Promise to Katsina

PEP, Delivered Across Katsina

After a possible exposure, you shouldn’t have to spend your window searching for a pharmacy that has PEP in stock. So we bring it to you instead, wherever you are in Katsina.

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 Katsina State. That covers Katsina city itself, from the areas around the old city gates like Kofar Kaura, Kofar Marusa, Kofar Sauri and Kofar Soro to the GRA, Tudun Wada, Kofar Marusa New Layout and the newer Barhim Estate developments. We also reach the towns that anchor the rest of the state, including Daura, Funtua, Malumfashi, Dutsin-Ma, Kankara, Mani, Jibia and Bakori. Wherever you are in the state, we confirm your exact drop-off when you order. We aim to deliver to every part of Katsina within 24 hours, and when you order we confirm your exact drop-off and timing before anything else. Everything comes packaged discreetly, with no markings outside to give away the contents.

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 Katsina?

If you’re in Katsina, 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

Sharing needles or syringes for any reason creates a direct route for HIV to pass through blood.

🏥

Needlestick at Work

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

🤝

After Sexual Assault

Survivors of assault may have been exposed to HIV, so PEP belongs in their emergency care. You deserve both protection and support.

Your Options in Katsina

Where Can You Get PEP in Katsina?

In Katsina and the larger towns, you have a few real options for getting 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 Katsina, 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 Hospital

Federal Medical Centre Katsina

Federal Medical Centre Katsina, the main federal tertiary hospital in the capital and formerly the General Hospital, provides HIV services and may offer PEP. It’s a major reference point for the state, though emergency departments can mean long waits, and timing can vary. Call ahead where you can.

State Specialist Hospital

General Amadi Rimi Specialist Hospital

General Amadi Rimi Specialist Hospital in Katsina city is a state tertiary facility offering a wide range of medical services. HIV care and PEP may be available through the national program, often at low or no cost. As a busy public hospital, availability differs, so confirm before travelling.

Federal Hospital, Daura

Federal Medical Centre Daura

If you’re toward the Daura side of the state, Federal Medical Centre Daura, upgraded from the General Hospital, provides HIV services and may offer PEP. Government ART clinics in the major towns are also worth checking, usually at low or no cost.

Private Clinics & Pharmacies

Private Healthcare

Private clinics and larger pharmacies, common around the GRA and the busier parts of Katsina city, can sometimes provide PEP, usually faster than a busy public hospital but at a higher cost. Stock isn’t guaranteed, 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 Katsina are based.

What Getting PEP in Katsina Really Involves

Specialist HIV care in Katsina is concentrated in a few public hospitals like Federal Medical Centre Katsina, and they do serious work. The catch is timing. Stock runs low, queues are long, and the clinic that has PEP today might not have it tomorrow, which is hard to plan around when your window is only 72 hours. Across Katsina we aim to deliver PEP within 24 hours, with the exact timing confirmed when you order. You confirm your exact location when you order, so nothing is left to chance. For context, Katsina recorded one of the lowest HIV rates in the country in the 2018 NAIIS survey, at roughly 0.3 percent. That low figure is no reason to wait after a possible exposure, because PEP responds to the exposure itself, not to the state average.

Skip the Search. We Come to You.

Wherever you are in Katsina, 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 Katsina?

That depends on how you get it. Through the national program, government hospitals may offer PEP at little or no cost, but availability can be patchy and queues long. Private clinics and pharmacies move quicker, at a higher price.

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, the price is clear and covers your whole 28-day course along with delivery and clinical support, so nothing catches you off guard. Check the product page for current pricing, or message us first if you’d prefer to ask.

Testing in Katsina

When and Where to Test

A same-night HIV test usually can’t tell you anything dependable yet, 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 Katsina, 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.

Katsina Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can I get PEP delivered in Katsina?

We aim to deliver PEP within 24 hours to every part of Katsina, including Katsina and the towns and communities across 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 Katsina?

Almost certainly yes. We cover the whole state, including Katsina city around Kofar Kaura, Kofar Marusa, the GRA, Tudun Wada and Barhim Estate, out to Daura, Funtua, Malumfashi, Dutsin-Ma and Kankara. 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 Katsina?

It can be. Government hospitals and ART clinics such as those at Federal Medical Centre Katsina 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 Katsina 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 Katsina hospitals offer PEP?

Federal Medical Centre Katsina and General Amadi Rimi Specialist Hospital in the capital, along with Federal Medical Centre Daura, government ART clinics across the major towns, and private clinics around the GRA, 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?

Once more than 72 hours have passed, PEP is no longer considered effective prevention, but there’s still something you can do. Talk with a healthcare professional about HIV testing and what comes next. If you test negative after the window closes, PrEP, a medicine taken before exposure to prevent HIV, might be the right ongoing protection. Get in touch and we’ll guide you.

Is everything kept private?

Yes, completely. We handle every conversation with strict confidentiality, and your medicine arrives in plain packaging that gives nothing away. We understand how sensitive the situations that bring people here can be, and each is met with the respect it deserves.
