Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a preventive strategy that uses antiretroviral medications to reduce the risk of HIV infection in people who are HIV-negative. When taken as prescribed, PrEP can reduce the risk of acquiring HIV from sexual activity by about 99% and from injection drug use by at least 74%. It is commonly recommended for individuals at increased risk, including those with HIV-positive partners, multiple partners, or those who use injectable drugs.
PrEP is designed to prevent HIV infection in individuals who are at increased risk due to various factors, including:
By taking PrEP, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of acquiring HIV from these exposure routes.
While PrEP helps prevent HIV, it’s important to recognize early symptoms of HIV infection, which may occur 2–4 weeks after exposure. These may include:
These symptoms resemble those of other viral illnesses. Seek medical attention if you suspect recent HIV exposure.
PrEP is a preventive therapy, not an HIV treatment, and involves several steps:
Consistent use is critical for maintaining PrEP’s effectiveness.
While PrEP is not a treatment but a preventive measure, the medications used for PrEP include:
• Truvada: A combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, taken once daily.
• Descovy: A combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide, taken once daily.
• Apretude: An injectable form of cabotegravir administered every two months.
These medications are prescribed based on individual health profiles and risk factors. Consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most suitable option for you.
Consider consulting a healthcare provider about PrEP if you:
Early consultation allows for timely assessment and initiation of PrEP, providing effective protection against HIV.
