  1. PREP

  2. Who should take PrEP? PrEP is for anyone who is HIV-negative and requires added protection from HIV as they are at high risk of being exposed to HIV through sex or drug injection as well as ready to take a daily pill. Some of these include: • Are in an active sexual relationship with someone who is HIV-positive. • Are not in a mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who recently tested HIV-negative. • Are gay or bisexual males who have had anal sex without using a condom or been diagnosed with an STD in the past 6 months. • Are heterosexual men or women who do not regularly use condoms during sex with partners of unknown HIV status who are at substantial risk of HIV infection.

  3. How effective is PrEP? • PrEP is very effective when taken as prescribed. As per the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a daily dosage of PrEP reduces the risk of contracting HIV from sex by more than 99%. In people who inject drugs, PrEP reduces the risk of contracting HIV by more than 74% if used without fail. And using condoms and PrEP together helps you stay even safer. • PrEP doesn’t prevent other sexually transmitted infections, like gonorrhea and chlamydia. So use condoms along with PrEP to help you avoid other STDs and give you extra protection against HIV. PrEP protects from the transmission of HIV as well as HIV taking hold in the body but the protection is not 100%. Condoms provide that extra protection from HIV, even while you are on PrEP. To ensure greater protection from HIV it is advised to combine PrEP with other ways like condoms. Unlike PrEP, condoms also protect against sexually transmitted (STDs) and prevent unwanted pregnancy.

  4. How often should I get tested for HIV after taking PrEP? • PrEP provides about 99% protection and when used consistently daily reduces the risk of contracting HIV. You should be fairly confident in your HIV test results; also using a rapid HIV antibody test could be preferred. • You are at high risk of seroconversion if you are not using PrEP consistently daily. Using an RNA test is more reliable in case you are in the “window period” of early HIV infection.
