HIV prevention has come a long way, and one of the most effective tools in the fight against the virus is Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). This daily pill is a game-changer for anyone at high risk of contracting HIV, offering up to 99% protection against HIV transmission through sex and more than 70% protection for people who inject drugs.

PrEP is designed for people who are HIV-negative but at high risk. This includes individuals who have condomless sex, share needles, or engage in behaviors that increase their chances of exposure. It’s also a great option for those living with a partner who has HIV or whose HIV status is unknown. Whether you’re seeking additional protection or already using other methods like condoms, PrEP adds a powerful layer of security.

The best part? PrEP is safe and effective, with minimal side effects. It can be used by adults and adolescents, and it doesn’t interfere with hormonal birth control or hormone therapy, making it a great choice for both men and women. You can even use PrEP during pregnancy or conception, providing peace of mind for those planning for the future.

In addition to the daily pill, there are new PrEP options like the dapivirine ring for women and the long-acting injectable cabotegravir for those who prefer not to take a daily pill.

PrEP only works in preventing HIV. Condom use is recommended to protect against STDs and pregnancy.

If you’re at high risk for HIV, PrEP could be a crucial part of your prevention strategy. Talk to your doctor today to find out if PrEP is right for you and take control of your health with this proven, life-saving medication. Don’t wait – protect yourself and your future with PrEP!
