Fenway Health is now prescribing long-lasting injectable PrEP for our patients who use PrEP
Apretude (cabotegravir) is injected every other month by your healthcare provider to reduce the risk of HIV infection. That means that after your initial starter doses, you only need to take Apretude 6 times a year as opposed to 365 times a year for a daily oral PrEP pill.
Talk to your provider today to learn more.
