PrEP

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis

PrEP is a medication taken before a person is exposed to HIV and does not work for people already infected. Patient's should ask their healthcare providers if PrEP is right for them. Generally, PrEP is used in patients that:

• Have sex with a partner with HIV

• Have sex with multiple partners with unknown HIV status

• Have sex with partners with inconsistent condom use

• Have a bacterial STI (sexually transmitted infection) in the last 6 months

• Have used injection drugs or shared needles
