HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a drug that helps prevent HIV in people who are at high risk of getting the virus. It is taken as a pill once a day.
HIV PrEP doesn’t prevent other STIs or pregnancy. It’s important for sexually active people to have regular STI testing and use dual-method protection (using a condom or internal condom along with another method of birth control like the pill, patch or ring).
