What is PrEP and Who Should Use It?

What is PrEP and How Does It Work?

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a preventive medication that reduces the risk of contracting HIV. PrEP works by creating a barrier in your body that prevents the HIV virus from replicating, effectively blocking infection. When taken daily, it significantly reduces the risk of HIV transmission through sexual contact or needle sharing.

PrEP is only suitable for HIV-negative individuals and is not used as a treatment for those who are HIV-positive. At GetPrep Now, we provide reliable information and guidance for anyone looking to protect themselves from HIV.

Who Should Consider Using PrEP?

PrEP is designed for individuals who are at higher risk of HIV. You should consider PrEP if:

• You have unprotected sex with an HIV-positive partner.

• You have multiple partners and do not consistently use condoms.

• You are a sex worker or inject drugs.

• You live in or travel to areas with high HIV prevalence.

If you believe you are at risk of HIV, consult a healthcare professional to learn more about PrEP.

How Effective is PrEP in Preventing HIV?

Scientific studies have shown that PrEP can reduce the risk of HIV transmission through sexual contact by up to 99% when taken consistently. Among people who inject drugs, the risk reduction is up to 74%. GetPrep Now is here to provide comprehensive information for those who want to start using this powerful prevention method.
