PEP (Intersex Human Rights)

PEP, or Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, is a medication taken by some intersex and other individuals to prevent HIV infection before potential exposure. It is a highly effective, daily pill that reduces the risk of contracting HIV when taken consistently. PEP in the context of intersex rights emphasizes ensuring access to healthcare, eliminating discrimination, and respecting intersex people's autonomy and health choices. Recognizing intersex human rights includes promoting equitable healthcare services like PEP, which empower intersex individuals to take control of their sexual health without stigma or barriers.
