Is PrEP Right for You?
PrEP may be a good option if you:
✓ Have sex with partners whose HIV status is unknown ✓ Have a partner living with HIV ✓ Have multiple sexual partners ✓ Prefer added protection beyond condoms ✓ Have recently been treated for an STI ✓ Use injection drugs or share equipment ✓ Want greater control over your HIV prevention strategy
There are several effective ways to reduce the risk of HIV transmission, including using barrier protection during sexual activity and avoiding the sharing of needles or injection equipment.
However, real-life situations are not always predictable. Accidental exposures can occur, such as a healthcare professional experiencing a needlestick injury, or individuals may find themselves in situations where HIV exposure becomes possible.
Fortunately, preventive medications are available both before and after potential exposure to significantly reduce the risk of acquiring HIV, offering additional protection when it matters most.
