What Is PrEP?

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a daily prescription medication that reduces the risk of HIV transmission by up to 99% when taken consistently. It’s a powerful prevention tool for individuals at higher risk and an essential step in protecting both yourself and your loved ones.

Who Should Consider PrEP?

PrEP may be right for you if you:

  • Have a partner living with HIV
  • Engage in sexual activity with partners of unknown HIV status
  • Use injection drugs or share needles
  • Experience inconsistent condom use
  • Have been diagnosed with an STI, increasing your risk of HIV

How Does PrEP Work?

PrEP blocks HIV from establishing an infection in the body. When taken daily, it’s highly effective, especially when combined with regular health checkups and open conversations with medical professionals.
