PrEP helps you stay healthy
WHAT IS PrEP?
PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis, and it refers to medicines that can reduce your risk of getting HIV from sex or using injected drugs.
PrEP can be in the form of pills or injections. Your health care provider will work with you to determine the best option for you based on your risk factors and medical history.
When you’re on PrEP, you’ll need to visit your care provider regularly for follow-ups, HIV tests, and shots or prescription refills.
PrEP is a safe and effective way to reduce your HIV risk. Depending on which medicine you take, it may take up to 3 weeks to reach maximum effectiveness.

Remember
PrEP is designed for people who have ongoing risk of being exposed to HIV. It is not the right choice if you believe you’ve been exposed to HIV in the last 72 hours. In that case, speak to your healthcare provider or urgent care provider about PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis).
