HIV PEP FAQ for Patient and UN personnel
How long can I expect to remain on the list of successful candidates?
The YPP list of successful candidates is valid for a period of three (3) years. We hope to place all successful candidates within this time frame, but if you are not placed you will be removed from the list. Should you remain interested in the Young Professionals Programme, you will be required to retake and successfully pass the YPP examination.
I was invited to take last year’s YPP examination, but I did not take it. May I take this year’s examination?
In order to take this year’s examination, you must submit a new application, meet all eligibility requirements, and be convoked to take the examination.
