PrEP guidelines

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a daily medication for people at risk of HIV to prevent infection. It is highly effective when taken consistently. Guidelines recommend PrEP for individuals with ongoing sexual activity, especially if they have multiple partners, a partner with HIV, or engage in condomless sex. It may also be advised for people who inject drugs. Before starting PrEP, a healthcare provider checks your HIV status, kidney function, and other health factors. Regular follow-up, including tests every three months, ensures its ongoing safety and effectiveness. PrEP is a key tool in reducing HIV transmission.
