PrEP

what is prep?

Pre-exposure prophylaxis OR PREP is a once daily pill that reduces the risk of HIV infection in Negative-Tested patients.

PREP main function is to protect against HIV, PrEP does not prevent other STIs.

 PrEP can be a good option for you if:

​

• You’re in an ongoing sexual relationship with a partner living with HIV.

• You’re having multiple casual sexual encounters and condom use is not always guaranteed.

​

• You’re in a new sexual relationship but not yet aware of your sexual partner's HIV status and not using condoms.

​

• You’re not using condoms with partners who are at high risk of HIV infection. 

​

• You’ve shared injecting equipment or have been in a treatment program for injecting drug use.
