PrEP & Truvada:

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a way to help prevent HIV by taking a pill every day. For those at very high risk for HIV, PrEP can significantly reduce your risk of HIV infection from sex by more than 90%. When PrEP is combined with condoms and other prevention methods it works even better. PrEP may not work if you skip doses. Even if used correctly, there's no guarantee that PrEP will work. 

PrEP is only used for people who are at very high risk for HIV through sex or IV drug use. PrEP might be right for you if

• your partner is HIV-positive
• your partner is HIV-negative and either you or your partner has sex with someone whose HIV status isn't known
• you're a gay or bisexual man who has had anal sex without a condom or been told you have an STD in the past 6 months
• you're a heterosexual man or woman who doesn't use condoms every time you have sex with people who inject drugs or have bisexual male partners
• you have injected drugs in the past 6 months and have shared needles or been in drug treatment for IV drug use in the past 6 months.

Make an appointment to see if PrEP might be good for you. Our practitioners can tell you more about how it works and what you can expect while taking it.
