WHAT IS INJECTABLE PrEP?
It’s an injection given by your healthcare provider every other month, instead of a pill you take every day
Bring on long action protection from HIV and PrEP without pills
-
Know your HIV-1 status and the HIV-1 status of your partners. If you think you were exposed to HIV-1, tell your healthcare provider right away
-
Your risk of getting HIV-1 is lower if your partners with HIV-1 are taking effective treatment
-
Get tested for HIV-1 with each long lasting injection or when your healthcare provider tells you. You should not miss any HIV-1 tests. If you become HIV-1 infected and continue receiving long lasting injection because you do not know you are HIV-1 infected, the HIV-1 infection may become harder to treat
-
Get tested for other STIs. These infections make it easier for HIV-1 to infect you
-
Talk to your healthcare provider about ways to reduce your HIV-1 risk
-
IMPORTANT: Do not miss any injections. Missing injections increases your risk of getting HIV-1 infection

PAY IT FORWARD
Did you know that when you fill your PrEP prescription with one of our pharmacy partners, you’re helping to empower the sexual health of our patients who are uninsured?
That’s right, each time you choose a CHE clinic pharmacy partner, we receive funding which helps us provide sexual health services to more people in priority populations, expand our clinic hours, and create new programming, such as our TeleCHE-Telehealth services.
Check in with your provider or navigator to make sure your prescriptions are filled through our pharmacy partners. One small change can have a big impact in the fight to end HIV.
