HIV Prevention Can Be Hard.
Getting PrEP Shouldn’t Be.
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a medication that prevents HIV. The goal of PrEP is to stop HIV-acquisition before potential exposure to the virus. This is done by taking an oral pill or by getting an injection every 2 months. Anyone not living with HIV is eligible for PrEP.
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) is another medication that prevents HIV. The goal of PEP is to disrupt HIV-acquisition after potential exposure to the virus. Anyone not living with HIV and who believes they have come into contact with HIV within the past 1-3 days is eligible for PEP.
