Non-Occupational Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (nPEP) is a screening, treatment plan, or recommendation to reduce the risk of infection from a potential high-risk exposure to an infectious agent, like HIV, that occurs outside of the workplace (washcohealth.org). Nonoccupational exposure refers to exposure to an infectious agent that occurs outside of one’s work, such as during s*x or when people share needles to inject drugs (clinicalinfo.hiv.gov).
