Occupational and non-professional exhibitions and the so-called "accidents" (accidental needle stabbing, sexual violence) are operated within the NFZ in specialized facilities. This also applies to the cost of drugs taken as part of the post-exposure procedure.
Other exposures (not related to occupational activities or accidents) resulting from voluntary exposure to sexually transmitted diseases (including HIV) may be dealt with by the NFZ in a specialist clinic. However, drugs used in the post-exposure procedure are purchased in publicly available pharmacies at the patient's expense.
