PrEP: Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis to prevent HIV

Our PrEP clinic offers a once daily pill that can provide a high level of protection for people who do not have HIV but are at substantial risk of becoming infected. The pill is a combination of two HIV medicines (tenofovir and emtricitabine) sold under the name Truvada®.

Studies have shown that when taken every day as prescribed, PrEP can reduce a person’s risk of getting HIV from a sexual partner by over 90% and from a drug-injection-using partner who is positive by 70%. No method offers 100% protection but PrEP can be combined with other prevention strategies like the ones listed below to reduce the risk of HIV infection even further.
