PrEP

PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, is a medication taken by HIV-negative individuals to significantly reduce their risk of contracting HIV. When taken consistently, it can lower the chance of infection by preventing the virus from establishing itself in the body. PrEP is primarily recommended for people at higher risk, such as those with an HIV-positive partner or engaged in behaviors that increase exposure. It is a highly effective and safe option when used as prescribed, serving as an important tool in HIV prevention strategies. Regular medical follow-up is essential to monitor health and ensure the medication's effectiveness.
