PrEP is a medication taken daily to significantly reduce the risk of HIV infection. It’s designed for HIV-negative individuals at risk of exposure through sex or injection drug use. Learn more about how PrEP can protect you and help you take control of your sexual health.
How PrEPWorks
PrEP works by preventing the HIV virus from establishing an infection in your body. When taken consistently, PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99% and from injection drug use by at least 74%.
