Fig. 3: Infection window and possible PEP failures: distribution among PEP seekers diagnosed with HIV (n = 22).

From: Data linkage to evaluate the long-term risk of HIV infection in individuals seeking post-exposure prophylaxis

a Histogram showing the distribution of time between the earliest possible infection date and HIV diagnosis (orange bars). In 17 cases, the possible infection window was shorter than 2 years. b Histogram showing the distribution of time between PEP consultation and the start of the infection window (dark blue bars). PEP failure was possible in 6 cases (illustrated with *): the start of the infection window occurred within 3 months of PEP consultation (n = 5), or HIV was diagnosed at 3 months (n = 1). PEP: post-exposure prophylaxis.
