The importance of PrEP in HIV prevention
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (or PrEP) is medicine taken to prevent getting HIV. PrEP is highly effective for preventing HIV when taken as prescribed.
-PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99%.
-PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from injection drug use by at least 74%.
-PrEP is less effective when not taken as prescribed. Since PrEP only protects against HIV, condom use is still important for the protection against other STDs. Condom use is also important to help prevent HIV if PrEP is not taken as prescribed.
Today, more tools than ever are available to prevent HIV.
You can use strategies such as abstinence (not having sex), never sharing needles, and using condoms the right way every time you have sex.
You may also be able to take advantage of HIV prevention medicines such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). If you have HIV, there are many actions you can take, such as treatment, to stay healthy and prevent transmitting HIV to others.
