We deliver right across Abia State. In the capital, Umuahia, that covers the GRA, Old Umuahia, the World Bank Housing Estate, Amakama, Ubakala, Ibeku and the Mission Hill axis across Umuahia North and South. We also cover Aba, the great commercial city of the southeast, reaching Ogbor Hill, Ariaria, Umungasi, Osusu, Ovom, Eziama, Osisioma and Abayi. Beyond the two cities, we serve the major towns that anchor the state, including Ohafia, Arochukwu, Bende, Isuikwuato and Okwe. Wherever you are in the state, we confirm your exact drop-off when you order. We aim to deliver to every part of Abia within 24 hours, and 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.

Is PEP Right for You?
Who Should Get PEP in Abia?
PEP is for anyone in Abia who may have been exposed to HIV in the past 72 hours and isn’t already living with the virus. The situations below are the ones we see most often.
Sex Without Protection
The condom broke or wasn’t used, and the other person’s HIV status is unknown or known to be positive.
Shared Needles
Sharing a needle or syringe, for any reason at all, opens a direct blood route for HIV.
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 Abia
Where Can You Get PEP in Abia?
Abia gives you a few real options, from the big public hospitals in Umuahia and Aba to private clinics, pharmacies and delivery. 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 Abia, with timing confirmed when you order. From your first step to your last dose, our clinical team stays with you. This route shines when speed, privacy and convenience count, and after a possible exposure that’s nearly always all three.
Federal Hospital
Federal Medical Centre Umuahia
Federal Medical Centre Umuahia, on Aba Road and the first Federal Medical Centre in Nigeria, runs HIV services and has a documented history of providing post-exposure prophylaxis, 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
Abia State University Teaching Hospital, Aba
Abia State University Teaching Hospital (ABSUTH) in Aba, at Abayi, is the state teaching hospital and provides HIV care. If you’re on the Aba 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 Umuahia, Aba, Ohafia 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 the Umuahia GRA and across the commercial parts of Aba, can sometimes provide PEP, usually faster than a busy public hospital but at a higher cost. Stock varies, so call first.
Getting PEP in Abia Without the Scramble
Knowing that Federal Medical Centre Umuahia might offer PEP is only half the answer in Abia. 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 Abia 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 Abia, 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.
Start Your OrderWhat It Costs
How Much Does PEP Cost in Abia?
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’s worth weighing the true cost of PEP, which is more than the price on the medicine. The time spent hunting for stock, moving between clinics, and waiting to be seen counts too. After a possible HIV exposure, with the 72-hour window already ticking, those delays are what cost you the 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 Abia
When and Where to Test
A same-night HIV test usually can’t tell you anything dependable yet, because of the window period.
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 Abia, 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.
Abia Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can I get PEP delivered in Abia?
We aim to deliver PEP within 24 hours to every part of Abia, including Umuahia 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 Abia?
Almost certainly yes. We cover the whole state, including Umuahia areas like the GRA, Old Umuahia, World Bank Housing Estate and Ubakala, the Aba districts of Ogbor Hill, Ariaria, Umungasi, Osusu and Osisioma, and out to Ohafia, Arochukwu and Bende. 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?
Because PEP is only for people who are HIV-negative, a baseline HIV test is required unless you already know your status. So 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. Just remember the 72-hour window takes priority: if testing would slow you down, you begin PEP without waiting and test at the same time. The rapid kit usually settles it fast.
Is PEP free in Abia?
It can be. Government hospitals and ART clinics such as those at Federal Medical Centre Umuahia 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 Abia without going to a hospital?
Yes. PEP Access lets you get PEP without setting foot in a hospital. You order online or chat to order, our team confirms your eligibility, and we deliver the medicine to you discreetly, with a rapid HIV test kit available as a paid add-on for your baseline test. For many people, avoiding a crowded emergency department is exactly why they choose delivery, especially when every hour counts.
Which Abia hospitals offer PEP?
Federal Medical Centre Umuahia on Aba Road, which has a documented history of providing post-exposure prophylaxis, and Abia State University Teaching Hospital in Aba, along with government ART clinics across the major towns and private clinics in Umuahia and Aba, 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?
Absolutely. Every conversation is kept strictly confidential, and your medicine turns up in discreet packaging with nothing on the outside to show what’s inside. We know the kinds of sensitive situations that bring people to us, and we treat every one with the respect it deserves.
