What is PrEP? (from CDC web site)
PrEP is a medicine that, when taken daily, lowers the chances of HIV infection among people who are at high risk. Daily PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by more than 90%. Among people who inject drugs, it reduces the risk by more than 70%. As a powerful tool for HIV prevention, PrEP can substantially reduce the chance a person will be infected with HIV, but only if they know about it and where to get it, can access the medication and laboratory services for free or at an affordable cost, and take it as directed.
For more information and resources about PrEP, visit https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/prep.html.
