PrEP can reduce your HIV risk by 99%
HOW PrEP HELPS
When taken correctly, PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) medications can reduce your risk of getting HIV from sex by 99%.
PrEP has also been found to reduce HIV risk among those who use injected drugs by at least 74%.
According to the CDC, PrEP pills reach maximum protection from HIV at about 7 days of daily use for receptive anal sex (bottoming). PrEP pills reach maximum protection at about 21 days of daily use for receptive vaginal sex and injection drug use. There is no data right now for PrEP pill effectiveness for insertive anal sex (topping) or insertive vaginal sex.
