&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is PrEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis. It is an FDA-approved prescription drug that protects against HIV. Similar to contraception, but for HIV.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is offered in two forms: pills and long-acting injectables (or shots). When used as directed, both types of PrEP are extremely successful at preventing HIV. PrEP is taken as a tablet once daily. Another alternative is to have it as an injection every two months from a healthcare professional. A healthcare provider can explain the advantages of both approaches. It takes some time, generally a few weeks after beginning PrEP, to get maximal protection. To maintain a high level of protection, PrEP must be used consistently.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As part of your continued PrEP, you will need to visit a healthcare practitioner every few months to be retested for HIV and other health tests. PrEP can also be taken &quot;on demand,&quot; or PrEP 2-1-1, before having intercourse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;resultTitle&quot; style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;word&quot;&gt;How&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;word&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;changedDisabled&quot;&gt;E&lt;/span&gt;ffective&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;word&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;changedDisabled&quot;&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;s&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;word&quot;&gt;PrEP&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PrEP is extremely effective when taken exactly as instructed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you begin taking the daily PrEP tablet, it takes around 7 days to get the highest degree of HIV protection for anal intercourse and 21 days for vaginal sex or injectable drug usage. PrEP works less effectively when not taken on a daily basis as indicated. Taking PrEP as an injection is also very successful at preventing HIV, although it is not presently suggested for persons who inject drugs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both types of PrEP are ineffective against other sexually transmitted infections (STDs). Condoms minimise the chance of gonorrhoea, chlamydia, syphilis, and other common sexually transmitted diseases, as well as pregnancy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;resultTitle&quot; style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;word&quot;&gt;How&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;word&quot;&gt;Long&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;word&quot;&gt;Does&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;word&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;changedDisabled&quot;&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;word&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;changedDisabled&quot;&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;ake&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;word&quot;&gt;for&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;word&quot;&gt;PrEP&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;word&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;changedDisabled&quot;&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;tart&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;word&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;changedDisabled&quot;&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;orking&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PrEP is a daily medication:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;To be effective, daily PrEP must be taken for an extended period of time prior to any potential HIV encounter. According to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), PrEP provides maximal protection against HIV transmission through receptive anal intercourse after roughly 7 days of daily usage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For receptive vaginal intercourse and injectable drug use, the CDC believes that PrEP provides optimum protection after around 20 days of daily treatment. Missing daily doses can reduce PrEP&#39;s efficacy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PrEP is typically prescribed as a daily medication taken once a day. However, an alternative method known as 2-1-1 dosing or on-demand PrEP provides a more flexible approach to using PrEP. Both daily PrEP and on-demand PrEP are highly effective in HIV prevention. The dosing options you choose depends on your sexual behavior. Learn more about &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://prep4you.org/how-to-take-prep&quot;&gt;how to take PrEP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dosage:&lt;/strong&gt; Take one pill daily, and do not exceed this amount, as taking more than one pill per day can be harmful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alcohol &amp;amp; Food:&lt;/strong&gt; Truvada can be taken safely with or without food, and it&amp;rsquo;s fine to use it even if you drink alcohol or use drugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Protection Timing:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For anal sex, PrEP requires 7 days of daily use to reach effective HIV prevention levels.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For vaginal sex, 30 days of daily use are needed for full protection.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tips for Remembering Your Dose:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keep your Truvada bottle in a visible spot, like near your toothbrush or in the kitchen.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Take your pill at the same time every day, linking it to a regular habit, such as during breakfast or while brushing your teeth.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Carry a spare pill with you in case you&amp;rsquo;re away from home or staying somewhere else at your usual dosing time&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Happens If I Forget to Take My PrEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you miss a dose of PrEP, take it as soon as you remember. For example, if you miss your morning pill but remember at night, take it then and resume your usual schedule the next day. Consistency is key for effective HIV prevention, so set reminders to stay on track.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Common Side Effects:&lt;/strong&gt; When starting PrEP, some people may experience mild side effects that usually resolve within the first month. Having side effects when you start taking PrEP is relatively normal, which include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Headache&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fatigue&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stomach pain&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gas&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bloating&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Softer or more frequent stools&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Nausea&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Taking your PrEP pill with food and trying it at night before bed can help ease these symptoms. If these symptoms persist, we recommend consulting your doctor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who is PrEP for?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PrEP is recommended for all adults and adolescents at risk of developing HIV. Certain forms of PrEP are only approved for anal sex. Consult your healthcare physician about which form of PrEP is best for you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PrEP is recommended for persons who have had anal or vaginal intercourse in the last six months and have had:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A partner with HIV, particularly if their viral load is unknown or detectable. This suggests they are either not receiving HIV therapy or that their treatment has not effectively suppressed the virus. People with HIV who are undetectable due to recommended HIV therapy cannot transfer the infection.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Any sex partners with unknown HIV status, particularly if the intercourse was condomless.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Has had a bacterial sexually transmitted illness (STD) in the last six months, such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, or syphilis. (However, for people who have receptive vaginal intercourse, chlamydia infection is not regarded as an indicator that PrEP should be used.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Truvada vs. Descovy: Which Types of PrEP are Right for Me?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two FDA-approved medications for PrEP are Truvada and Descovy. While Descovy is newer, it&amp;rsquo;s not inherently &amp;ldquo;better&amp;rdquo; or &amp;ldquo;safer.&amp;rdquo; Truvada has been available longer, with more extensive data supporting its use. Compare the two to determine which is right for you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;flex max-w-full flex-col flex-grow&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;min-h-8 text-message flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 whitespace-normal break-words [.text-message+&amp;amp;]:mt-5&quot; dir=&quot;auto&quot; data-message-author-role=&quot;assistant&quot; data-message-id=&quot;7dbd96c7-13e8-469f-a863-ad4944c74211&quot; data-message-model-slug=&quot;gpt-4o&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The newer PrEP medication, Descovy, uses tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) instead of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in Truvada, offering better kidney and bone health safety. TAF delivers higher tenofovir concentrations to cells, maintains protective levels longer, and may provide better protection for those who miss doses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While studies show Descovy is &quot;non-inferior&quot; to Truvada, differences in effectiveness are not statistically significant. Both medications are first-line options for HIV prevention and approved for hepatitis B treatment. Avoid combining Descovy with other antivirals without consulting a doctor, and inform your provider of all medications you&amp;rsquo;re taking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Descovy cannot be used as on-demand PrEP, as there aren&#39;t enough studies on its effectiveness. If you&#39;re considering using 2-1-1 dosing for PrEP, Truvada and its generic options are the only medications that work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;Do I Still Need to Use Condom While Using PrEP?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PrEP is very effective against HIV, but it does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections. When worn regularly and appropriately, condoms are a very efficient way to prevent the spread of HIV and many other STDs. Condoms are the only technique of contraception that prevents both pregnancy and STDs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Combine PrEP with condoms for comprehensive protection&lt;/strong&gt;: Using condoms alongside PrEP helps guard against both HIV and most STIs, offering greater overall safety.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get regular STI screenings&lt;/strong&gt;: If you&amp;rsquo;re on PrEP, periodic STI testing is essential. Early detection and treatment protect your health and reduce the risk of transmitting STIs to others.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consider &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://prep4you.org/get-doxypep-online-worldwide-delivery&quot;&gt;DoxyPEP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for added STI prevention&lt;/strong&gt;: DoxyPEP involves taking the antibiotic doxycycline shortly after potential exposure and can lower the risk of STIs by about two-thirds compared to not using it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ongoing visits with your PrEP provider are key to maintaining the effectiveness of your HIV prevention plan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lab Tests Every 3 Months:&lt;/strong&gt; At PULSE, we recommend lab tests every 3 months after starting PrEP to monitor your health and ensure continued protection.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Testing Every 6 Months:&lt;/strong&gt; While some may opt for testing every 6 months, it&amp;rsquo;s important to test regularly, particularly in large cities or if you&amp;rsquo;re sexually active, where the risk of contracting STDs (both bacterial and viral) may be higher.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PrEP is not meant to be taken indefinitely. It is typically used for a few months or years when &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://prep4you.org/who-needs-prep&quot;&gt;the risk of HIV is highest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. If you no longer feel at risk, you can talk to your healthcare provider about stopping PrEP, and you can restart it later if needed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can stop taking PrEP anytime, but it&#39;s important to consult your doctor or clinic first. Before stopping, continue taking PrEP for one month after your last potential HIV exposure. Get tested for HIV four weeks after stopping to ensure your health. Your healthcare provider can offer support and guidance during this process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I Stopped Taking PrEP and I&#39;m Thinking About Starting Again. What Should I Do?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before restarting PrEP, it&#39;s important to get an HIV test to ensure you&#39;re not HIV-positive. Taking PrEP while HIV-positive can lead to resistance, making it less effective. If you&amp;rsquo;ve missed more than 7 days of PrEP, consult your healthcare provider for guidance on safely restarting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;How Should I Store My PrEP?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keep your PrEP bottle at room temperature and avoid storing it in extreme conditions, such as a hot car or a refrigerator. Do not share your PrEP medication with others, as it is not suitable for everyone and should only be taken under a doctor&#39;s prescription. Regular appointments with your healthcare provider are crucial to ensuring the safe and effective use of PrEP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PrEP is a highly effective medication for preventing HIV in individuals at risk, offering significant protection when taken as prescribed. Whether through sexual activity or drug injection, PrEP can dramatically reduce the risk of contracting HIV, making it an important option for those who are at increased risk. If you&amp;rsquo;re considering PrEP, it&amp;rsquo;s essential to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if it&amp;rsquo;s right for you, especially if you have a partner with HIV or engage in behaviours that put you at risk. With proper use, PrEP can play a key role in maintaining your health and preventing the spread of HIV.&lt;/p&gt;
