Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, or PrEP, is a daily pill you can take to prevent HIV infection. It works by adding an extra layer of protection if you are exposed to the virus. When taken consistently, PrEP is 99% effective at reducing the risk of getting HIV from sex or injection drug use. Think of it as a daily vitamin for your immune system that helps keep HIV at bay. It’s a simple, proactive way to stay healthy and prevent HIV before it has a chance to take hold. Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider will ensure it's working well for you.
