Get PEP If a Condom Breaks!

Oops… Did the Condom Break? Don’t Panic, Take Action!

A condom mishap doesn’t mean disaster—it just means it’s time to act fast. Whether it snapped, slipped, or disappeared mid-action, you can still protect yourself. Quick, confident steps are key.

Check What Happened

Before anything else, confirm the condom actually broke:

• You notice a tear or rip during or after sex.
• Semen leaked out.
• The condom slipped off completely or is missing.

If any of this happened, don’t freak out. Just act.

Protect Yourself from HIV with Emergency PEP

If there’s any risk of HIV exposure, PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is your go-to emergency option.

• Start within 72 hours, ideally within 24 hours for maximum protection.
• It’s a 28-day course, and taking every dose on time is critical.

PEP is highly effective at reducing HIV risk—but it doesn’t cover other STIs or pregnancy.

Protect Against Bacterial STIs with Doxy-PEP

Condom breaks can expose you to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Doxy-PEP, a short course of doxycycline, can help reduce these risks:

• Start within 24–72 hours of exposure.
• Protects up to 90% against syphilis and ~60% against chlamydia & gonorrhea.
• Works best alongside regular STI testing.

Catch Hidden Infections with PCR Multiplex Testing

Many STIs are “silent” and don’t show symptoms for weeks. PCR Multiplex testing can detect multiple STIs at once—from urine, swabs, or blood—giving you accurate results fast.

• Detects chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, trichomoniasis, and more.
• Early detection means early treatment, preventing complications or spreading to partners.
• Paired with Doxy-PEP, it forms a powerful shield against bacterial STIs.

Prevent Pregnancy with Emergency Contraception

If pregnancy is a concern, emergency contraception (morning-after pill or Plan B) is most effective when taken as soon as possible, ideally within 48 hours, but up to 72 hours after unprotected sex. Remember, it prevents pregnancy—it does not terminate an existing one.

Take Action Now

After a condom mishap, a complete protection plan includes:

• HIV PEP — start within 72 hours if at risk.
• Doxy-PEP — reduces bacterial STI risk.
• PCR Multiplex testing — detect infections early.

Acting fast keeps your sexual health under control and gives you peace of mind.

Your Body. Your Health. Your Move.

Condom breaks happen—it’s normal. But the sooner you respond, the safer you’ll be. Emergency PEP, Doxy-PEP, and PCR Multiplex testing give you multiple layers of protection.

Take control, protect yourself, and get back to enjoying your life—safe, confident, and worry-free.
