PrEP

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a prevention method used by people who are HIV-negative. When someone is exposed to HIV through sex or injection drug use, these prescription medications continuously work to prevent HIV infection. PrEP is meant to be taken every day for however long the individual wants this extra layer of protection from HIV.  Along with condoms, PrEP is effective against HIV but will not protect against other STIs like syphilis and gonorrhea.
