What is PrEP?
PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis. It's medication taken before potential exposure to HIV. Taken as prescribed, it's up to 99% effective at preventing HIV.
PrEP is ongoing, for as long as it makes sense for your life.
PREP
If you are sexually active, PrEP is for you.
PrEP puts HIV prevention in your hands. You don't need a partner's status, a conversation you're not ready to have, or anyone else's cooperation to protect yourself. It's something you decide for yourself.
You have choices.
Who is PrEP for?
PrEP is for anyone who is sexually active, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, relationship status, or number of partners.
There's no risk profile you need to fit. Wanting protection is reason enough.
How does PrEP work?
PrEP is available in several forms.
- A daily pill
- An injection every two months
- An injection every six months
Whichever option you choose, it runs in the background of your life, not the center of it.
