COVID-19 Post-exposure prophylaxis study

There is a new randomized study researching the potential benefit of hydroxychloroquine versus vitamin C versus placebo as post-exposure prophylaxis for household contacts or health care workers with COVID-19 exposures. Potential enrollees can self-refer at the website below if they are within several days of an exposure (people must be enrolled within 96 hours of contact with a symptomatic person). The entire study is done with no in-person visits. Residents of LA County are eligible.

For more information, please email COVID19PEP@mednet.ucla.edu.
