I really wish more people knew about PEP as well. It seems equally important (in both the gay and straight communities), but it seems to get even less publicity than PrEP

Definitely. PEP, which for people who aren't familiar with it is a course of drugs which can be taken within 72 hours of a potential exposure to HIV to prevent becoming infected with HIV. It's not 100% effective, but it is an important tool to prevent the spread of HIV.
