Prevention Services PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is the newest tool in HIV prevention. It's a prescription medicine that, when taken every day, significantly reduces your chances of getting HIV by blocking the virus. PrEP does not protect against sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhea or syphilis, so you should continue using condoms to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections.

In most cases, you are able to access the medication at no cost to you. |
