What is PrEP?

• PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, is a daily medication that can reduce your chance of getting HIV.
• PrEP can stop HIV from taking hold and spreading throughout your body.
• Daily PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by more than 90%. Among people who inject drugs, it reduces the risk by more than 70%.
• Your risk of getting HIV from sex can be even lower if you combine PrEP with condoms and other prevention methods.
• PrEP does not prevent other STDs or pregnancy.

• Are in a relationship with an HIV-positive partner
• Are a heterosexual man or woman, gay or bisexual man or transgender woman and aren’t in a monogamous relationship, but may have high-risk partners
