ABOUT PREP

What is PrEP?

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is medicine people at risk for HIV take to prevent getting HIV from sex or injection drug use.

Are there different types of PrEP?

There are two medications approved for use as PrEP. Both options are 99.7% effective when taken daily. They have unique properties to each treatment. While one treatment may work best for one person another could be best for the next person. Open talks with your healthcare provider may help to best determine which option may be best for you.

Truvada is for all people at risk through sex or injection drug use.
Descovy is for people at risk through sex, except for people assigned female at birth who are at risk of getting HIV from vaginal sex.

Is PrEP safe?

PrEP is safe but some people experience side effects like diarrhea, nausea, headache, fatigue, and stomach pain. These side effects usually go away over time.
Tell your health care provider about any side effects that are severe or do not go away.
