What is PrEP?

PrEP is a medication designed to prevent HIV infection, typically available as daily oral pills such as Truvada, Descovy, and Teno-EM, which can reduce the risk of HIV by up to 99% when taken correctly. With various options available, PrEP can be tailored to different lifestyles. A newer alternative to daily pills is Apretude (cabotegravir), an injectable form of PrEP that provides protection for up to two months with a single dose.

PrEP only works for people who are HIV-negative before engaging in sexual activity. If you have recently been at risk of HIV exposure, consider seeing a doctor for HIV PEP, another medication that can help prevent infection if taken within 72 hours of potential exposure.

How Effective is PrEP?

When taken every day as prescribed, PrEP is very effective at preventing HIV, reducing the risk of getting it from sex by about 99%. The IPERGAY trial showed that the 2-1-1 PrEP schedule reduced HIV risk by 86% in men who have sex with men, with high efficacy even for those with less frequent sexual activity.

Who Should Use PrEP?

PrEP is a medicine that helps prevent HIV. It is for people who do not have HIV but are at high risk of getting it. It's important to know about the risks of STDs so you can get the right treatment and protection. Changing some behaviors can help lower the chance of infection. Some people have a higher risk and should consider taking extra precautions, including:

• Men who have sex without condoms
• Men with multiple partners
• Men who have sex with other men
• Sex workers with multiple partners
• People who use injection drugs

How to Reduce the Risk of HIV

• Take PrEP – This highly effective HIV prevention method can reduce the risk of HIV transmission by 99% when used correctly. 
• Use condoms or dental dams – Condoms and dental dams are proven to be effective in protecting STIs whether it’s HIV or bacterial infections.
• Consider DoxyPEP – This new prevention approach involves taking antibiotics after sex to reduce the risk of bacterial STIs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, by about two-thirds. Bacterial infections also increase the risk of HIV, as they often cause inflammation, blisters, and sores. Preventing these infections can help lower the risk of HIV infection.
• Get tested regularly – Routine testing helps ensure your prevention methods are effective. Early detection allows for prompt treatment, reducing complications and preventing further spread.
