Prevent HIV

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a medication people at risk for HIV take to prevent getting HIV from sex or injection drug use. When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective for preventing HIV. It’s estimated that it takes at least seven days for PrEP to reach high levels of protection in the body.

Locate a PrEP Provider

Get back into treatment

What if you’ve stopped seeing your health care provider regularly for HIV care or have stopped taking your medication? It’s important to return to care – even if you have to start seeing a new provider. Being in care and taking your HIV medication is the key to staying healthy. You can manage your HIV and live a long, healthy life with regular medical care and HIV treatment.
