Possible exposure in the last 72 hours? Order PEP Now →
If you have had a possible HIV exposure in Enugu, the single most important thing to know is that post-exposure prophylaxis works, but only if you start it within 72 hours. The first 24 hours matter most, so if your exposure was recent, message us now and begin the process. You can read the rest while your PEP is on its way.
Enugu is the historic centre of the South-East, with the university town of Nsukka to the north. The city has well-established HIV care through its teaching hospitals, but in a 72-hour emergency a clinic queue is time you may not want to spend. Delivery is often the faster, more private route, and we reach the whole state.
Our team has supported people across Nigeria through the time-critical first hours after an exposure, so we know the questions you are likely facing right now and we will not waste your time.
Looking for PEP in Enugu?
If you are searching for PEP in Enugu, HIV emergency treatment in Enugu, post-exposure prophylaxis near you, or emergency HIV drugs in Enugu, the same 72-hour rule applies to all of them. The fastest option is whichever route gets your first dose started earliest. For most people that means ordering on WhatsApp and starting at home, rather than waiting to be seen at a clinic. In Enugu city, where we have a hub, Zivoko delivers within hours, and anywhere else in the state within 24 hours at the latest. The 72-hour rule still applies, so start as early as you can.

PEP delivery to Nsukka, Agbani, Awgu and Oji River

Are you eligible for PEP?
To make sure PEP is used safely, we provide it to people who genuinely need it. You are likely eligible if:
- You have had a possible HIV exposure in the last 72 hours, such as unprotected sex, a condom breakage, sexual assault, or contact with blood that may be infected.
- You are currently HIV-negative, or you have never tested positive.
- You understand that PEP must be taken every day for 28 days to work.
If you are not sure whether your situation qualifies, message us anyway, or use our HIV risk checker to assess your exposure in a couple of minutes. Our team will talk it through honestly and tell you whether PEP is the right step.
Where to get PEP in Enugu
Zivoko is the fastest and most private route, but here is the fuller picture of where PEP can be found in Enugu.
Zivoko delivery
Within Enugu, Zivoko delivers within hours in Enugu city, where we have a hub,, dispatched as soon as your order is confirmed, and reaches anywhere else in the state within 24 hours at the latest, including Nsukka, Agbani, Awgu and Oji River. You need an HIV test before starting, and we can add a rapid test kit to your order (sold separately, subject to availability). The packaging is plain, and the whole process runs over WhatsApp. For most people in Enugu, this is the quickest way to start PEP inside the window.
Teaching and federal hospitals in Enugu
The University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Ituku-Ozalla and the Enugu State University Teaching Hospital are the main centres for HIV care and the most reliable places to ask for PEP. General hospitals in Nsukka and other towns may also offer it.
PEP at these centres is often free or subsidised under the national HIV programme. The trade-off is the process: getting through the emergency unit or HIV clinic, assessment, and dispensing can take several hours, and the clinic may keep weekday hours only. Ask specifically for the HIV treatment or ART clinic.
General hospitals and private clinics
Some general hospitals and private clinics elsewhere in Enugu may offer PEP, but availability is genuinely uneven. Smaller facilities may not stock it, may have run out, or may not run a same-day process. We are not going to list specific facilities we cannot vouch for, because sending you to one that has no stock could cost you hours you do not have.
If you do try a local facility, call ahead first and confirm they have PEP in stock before you travel.
Follow-up testing and next steps
After you finish your 28-day course, you will need an HIV test at four to six weeks and again at three months from the original exposure, because the result is only conclusive at that point. Private laboratories with branches in the larger Nigerian cities, such as Lancet and PathCare, offer this testing, and the teaching hospital in Enugu can also test. Our team can point you to a suitable option for your location.
During your 28 days, it helps to know what to expect. Our guides on PEP side effects and what to do if you miss a dose walk you through the course, and what happens after PEP covers the testing timeline in full.
If your circumstances mean HIV exposure could happen again, ask us about moving to PrEP after your course. PrEP offers ongoing protection and is a better long-term fit than repeated PEP, and we can support that transition at the point of your follow-up test.
Wherever you are in Enugu, you are covered
PEP is a race against a 72-hour clock. Do not spend those hours wondering which hospital has stock. Message Zivoko now and we will get PEP moving to you anywhere in Enugu.

Can I get PEP in Enugu today?
Yes. In Enugu city, where we have a hub, Zivoko delivers within hours, and anywhere else in the state within 24 hours at the latest. The 72-hour rule still applies, so start as early as you can. You can also ask at the teaching or federal hospital in Enugu, though hospital queues and clinic hours can slow things down. Whichever route starts your first dose soonest is the right one.
Can I get PEP after a condom broke in Enugu?
Yes, a condom breakage with a partner whose status you do not know is one of the most common and valid reasons to start PEP. If it happened in the last 72 hours, treat it as urgent and message us, or use our HIV risk checker first if you want to assess the risk.
What happens if I start PEP after 72 hours?
PEP is very unlikely to work once more than 72 hours have passed, because the virus may already have established itself. It is no longer the recommended option at that point. If you are past the window, contact us anyway and we will talk you through HIV testing and, where appropriate, ongoing prevention with PrEP.
Can students get PEP in Enugu?
Yes. Students and young people are among the people we support most often, and there is no age barrier to needing PEP. The process is private, the packaging is plain, and you do not have to share your name if you would rather not. Enugu and the other campuses and towns in Enugu are all covered.
