What is PrEP?

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a daily pill proven to be up to 99% effective in preventing HIV. Extensive research shows that when taken as prescribed, PrEP offers a powerful defense against HIV infection.

The original PrEP medication is Truvada, a branded drug. However, Truvada can be costly, with a month’s supply of 30 pills priced as high as $1,500. Fortunately, generic PrEP options are available at much lower prices.

Generic PrEP contains the same active ingredients as Truvada and offers the same high level of protection against HIV. Popular generics include Teno-Em, Tenof-EM, Ricovir-EM, Tenvir-EM, and Tavin-EM.

We partner with HIV and LGBT clinics, as well as organizations globally, to source PrEP directly from manufacturers. This allows us to offer the lowest possible prices to the community. If you're wondering where to buy PrEP in Thailand, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of PrEP and sexual health clinics below.

How Does PrEP Work?

Since its introduction in 2013, PrEP has been available as a daily pill containing the medications tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and emtricitabine. This daily dose or on-demand regimen should always be taken under a doctor's supervision.

In 2019, a new formulation of PrEP was approved for HIV prevention, consisting of tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine, available as a daily dose only, also under medical supervision."

What are the side effects of PrEP?

When using PrEP (such as Truvada or its generics) to prevent HIV, some users may experience mild side effects. The most common side effects reported in clinical studies include:

• Headache
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Rash
• Loss of appetite

However, these side effects are rare and typically do not affect most PrEP users.

When Is the Best Time to Start PrEP? – A Guide to HIV Prevention

Considering PrEP for extra protection alongside condoms? If you've realized you're not using condoms consistently and want to protect yourself from HIV, PrEP may be the right choice. It's crucial to test negative for HIV before starting PrEP.

• Frequently asked questions about HIV PrEP
• HIV test services at PULSE Clinic
• PCR 28: comprehensive testing for 28 infections in one go
• Have You Recently Been Exposed to HIV? Get PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) within 72 hours to reduce your risk of HIV infection. After we confirm you are HIV-negative, consider starting PrEP for ongoing protection.

Remember, PrEP protects against HIV but doesn't prevent other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis C. Continue taking precautions to safeguard your sexual health.

Here are additional ways to protect against other STIs.

• Get vaccinated for HPV and Hepatitis B to reduce the risk of infection.
• Consider DoxyPEP after unprotected sex to help prevent gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis.
