PrEP may be right for you if you test negative for HIV, and any of the following apply to you:

You have had anal or vaginal sex in the past 6 months and you:

  • Have a sexual partner with HIV (especially if the partner has an unknown or detectable viral load),
  • Have not consistently used a condom, or
  • Have been diagnosed with an STD in the past 6 months.

 

You inject drugs and you:

  • Have an injection partner with HIV, or
  • Share needles, syringes, or other equipment to inject drugs (for example, cookers).

You have been prescribed PrEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) and you

  • Report continued risk behavior, or
  • Have used multiple courses of PEP.

If you are a woman and have a partner with HIV and are considering getting pregnant, talk to your doctor about PrEP if you’re not already taking it. PrEP may be an option to help protect you and your baby from getting HIV while you try to get pregnant, during pregnancy, or while breastfeeding.

There are two medications approved for use as PrEP: Truvada and Descovy.

  • 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.

Side effects: 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.
