PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is an FDA-approved, Centers\ for Disease Control and Prevention-recommended daily prevention pill for HIV-negative people who are especially vulnerable to getting HIV. Taken daily, PrEP is up to 99% effective at preventing HIV.
You might consider PrEP if you:
- Don’t always use condoms with your partner(s)
- You have been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the last six months
- You’re unsure of the HIV status of your sexual partners
- You’re in a relationship with an HIV-positive partner who may or may not be on HIV treatment
- You are a person who injects drugs or you’re in a sexual relationship with an injection drug user
- You’re HIV-negative and interested in PrEP
PrEP is not for everyone – but everyone should consider it as an option to protect themselves.
